Question

What should parents pay attention to in their child’s diet when the child has a high fever?

Answer

When a child has a high fever, in addition to timely fever-reducing treatment, dietary care is also an important aspect. Firstly, high fever may lead to a reduction in the child’s gastrointestinal function, so it’s important to provide easily digestible foods such as light vegetables and fruits to alleviate the burden on the digestive system. Secondly, it’s advisable to avoid giving children fatty foods to prevent indigestion. Adhering to these dietary principles can help maintain a good nutritional status for the child during the fever period, promoting body recovery.
