Patient's question:
My child is 9 years old. Recently, he has had a slight cold and fever. I want to buy some fruits for him to help cool down his body. Can dragon fruit be used for this? Will dragon fruit make the cold worse? I want to ask the doctor if a child with a cold and fever can eat dragon fruit?Doctor's answer:
Hello, it can be eaten. If you have an appetite, it's fine. Dragon fruit is sweet and neutral, rich in protein and dietary fiber, so it can also be consumed by patients with fever. Patients with fever can eat dragon fruit without any adverse effects. If patients with fever experience a loss of appetite, they should consume more light fruit and vegetable foods and drink plenty of warm water. It is recommended to go to a regular hospital for relevant examinations and treatment. Wishing you good health.
