Question
After the baby’s full-body examination, neonatal sepsis was detected, along with a slight fever. Can the mother eat spicy food in this situation? Will eating spicy food have an adverse effect on the baby’s health?
Answer
When the baby has neonatal sepsis, the mother cannot eat spicy food. Eating spicy food can increase the baby’s risk of bacterial infection and may also have a certain impact on the recovery of the disease. In this case, the mother should choose nutritious and light foods to provide the baby with the necessary protein and vitamins and other nutrients. At the same time, timely treatment of the disease should be carried out to avoid exacerbation of the condition and adverse effects on the kidneys.
