Question
Can children with a cold and fever eat oranges?
Answer
Oranges have the effect of relieving cough and phlegm. If a child has a cold caused by catching a chill and experiences coughing leading to fever, eating oranges can help in the recovery of the cough. Oranges do not affect fever, so it is feasible to eat oranges during a feverish period without any issues. Additionally, boiling pear or apple water can also help maintain bowel regularity and avoid children from getting overheated, which can have a better therapeutic effect on fever and colds.
