Patient's question:
The child hasn't known recently whether he has caught a cold. He has started to cough, and now he has started to have a fever. The doctor said it's a cold. Hello, what should one eat when they have a fever and a cold?Doctor's answer:
Children with fever should primarily consume semi-liquid or liquid foods, such as milk, rice soup, and fruit juice. These foods are both nutritious and easy to digest, making them suitable for recovery. It is also important to eat foods rich in calcium, zinc, and vitamins, as they provide excellent nutrition and support for the mononuclear phagocyte system, which plays a key role in antibody production. Additionally, children should drink plenty of water. If the fever persists, fever patches can be used, and medications should be taken under the guidance of a doctor.
