Children with fever need light food. Eggs, oil and meat are difficult to digest, which will increase the burden on the stomach and easily accumulate. These foods contain high protein. Excessive intake of protein can lead to water, heat, dryness, thirst or constipation. When you are sick, porridge is a good choice for both adults and children. Of course, the porridge here is not the seafood porridge in the canteen, nor the porridge with a lot of spices and a strong taste. It is best to have white rice porridge or rice porridge. If the child coughs, you can peel pears and cook porridge with white rice to stop emphysema. If the child has digestive problems, please eat light rice porridge. Chopped fresh vegetables can also be put in, without soup, preferably not greasy.
The child has a bad appetite after illness, but his body needs a lot of energy. As long as children eat the original food, they can eat it without allergic reaction. Don't be taboo. Many people think that eating beef and mutton is easy to get angry when they get sick, so don't eat it. Beef and mutton contain high protein. Excessive intake of protein will consume water, aggravate fever, and easily lead to dry mouth, thirst and even constipation. Therefore, it is not good to deliberately add this high-protein food to children.
But children like it and can eat it if they don't respond. Appropriate addition of high-protein food can replenish energy and is beneficial to the recovery of diseases. If children have diarrhea, they will increase emissions and not eat. How can the body stand it? It will lead to malnutrition, even metabolic disorder, aggravated diarrhea and delayed illness. Some people think that children with diarrhea lose too much nutrition and should eat more chicken, duck and fish to supplement it. This is also wrong, it can increase the intake, but the intake of high-fat and high-protein foods will increase the burden on the stomach, even if the disease is no longer cured. The key to diarrhea is to prevent and correct dehydration. We can encourage children to continue to eat the food they usually eat, give them more fluids in various ways, prepare oral rehydration salts, and encourage them to drink when they are thirsty. Don't wait until the child is thirsty.
