Question
My child is 9 years old and has recently had a cold with a fever. I want to buy some fruit for him to eat. Is dragon fruit okay? Will eating dragon fruit make the cold worse? Can children with a cold and fever eat dragon fruit?
Answer
It is safe to eat dragon fruit. Dragon fruit has a mild nature and is rich in protein and dietary fiber, making it suitable for patients with fever. For patients with fever, appetite may decrease, so it’s recommended to eat more fruits, vegetables, and light foods, as well as to drink warm water. It’s also suggested to seek medical examination and treatment from a regular hospital. Wishing for your child’s health.
