Question
Can a baby with a cold and fever drink millet pumpkin porridge? There’s phlegm in the throat, and they’re a bit sick when eating. What should I do?
Answer
Millet pumpkin porridge is mild in nature, rich in nutrition, sweet without being greasy, making it an excellent nourishing food. Regular consumption can help nourish the body, and drinking pumpkin porridge during a cold can aid in a quicker recovery. It’s safe for children with fever to consume pumpkin porridge, as pumpkin has the effects of being cooling and moistening the lungs, which can promote overall health. While taking medication for the cold and fever symptoms, it’s important to ensure adequate rest, plenty of water intake, avoid smoking and drinking alcohol, and not stay up late to facilitate a quick recovery.
