Contraindications for children when they are ill vary according to their illness. Generally speaking, children should avoid eating spicy, greasy and irritating foods when they are sick, such as peppers, ginger, onions and garlic. In addition, cold drinks, ice cream and other raw and cold foods should be avoided to avoid aggravating the illness.
If the child has a cold and fever, he can drink more water and eat light and digestible foods such as vegetables and fruits. If children cough, they can drink more warm or boiled water and eat less spicy food.
