Question
Can children drink chicken soup when they have a cold and fever?
Answer
It is not recommended for children to drink chicken soup when they have a cold and fever. After a cold, it’s advised to follow a light diet, consume more vegetables and fruits, and drink plenty of water, avoiding spicy and greasy foods. During a cold, the spleen and stomach are weaker, and greasy foods can exacerbate nausea. Once symptoms improve, chicken soup can be consumed in moderation to replenish nutrients.
