Can babies eat meat when they have a fever?

Since babies have relatively low resistance, they are prone to colds and other diseases. You still need to pay attention to their diet when they have a cold or fever. So can babies eat meat when they have a fever? Yes, but in moderation, not too much. When babies have a fever, it is best to eat more foods that are rich in vitamins and easy to digest, which can improve the baby's resistance. Let’s take a look at the foods that are taboo when babies have a fever.

First, avoid eating too many eggs: Eggs are indeed rich in nutrients, but it is not advisable to eat too many eggs during a fever. This is because the protein in the eggs will produce a certain amount of extra heat after being decomposed in the body, which will increase the body's heat, aggravate fever symptoms, prolong fever time, and increase the patient's pain.

Second, avoid drinking too much tea: drinking strong tea will keep the brain in an excited state, speed up the pulse, and increase blood pressure, which will in turn increase the patient's body temperature and make him irritable. At the same time, tea water will affect the decomposition and absorption of drugs and reduce their efficacy.

Third, avoid drinking too much cold drinks: If the fever is caused by infectious diseases such as bacterial dysentery caused by unclean food, the gastrointestinal function will be weakened, and drinking too much cold drinks will aggravate the condition, and even worsen it and endanger life.

Fourth, avoid eating too much honey: During a fever, you should focus on clearing away heat and avoid nourishing. Honey is a tonic that replenishes qi and strengthens the middle. If the patient takes too much honey, the internal heat will not be cleared and eliminated well, and other complications may occur easily.

Fifth, avoid eating too much spicy food: As the body temperature rises, the metabolism in the body is vigorous. In this case, eating warm and spicy foods such as ginger, garlic, and peppers will add heat to the heat, aggravate the condition, and is not conducive to reducing fever and early recovery.

Sixth, avoid forcing children to eat: When some children have a fever, parents often think that fever consumes nutrients, and not eating will be even worse. So they force their children to eat, and some even try their best to feed their children high-nutrition food. In fact, this approach is counterproductive. Not only does it fail to promote appetite, but it can also make you feel sick and even cause vomiting, diarrhea, etc.
