What should my baby eat if he has a bacterial infection and fever?

Nowadays, most children are only children, so parents are very anxious when the baby is sick. Among them, children have low resistance and are easily infected by bacteria, resulting in symptoms of fever and colds. Whenever a child has a fever, the parents' first reaction is to go to the hospital for an IV drip. In fact, if the child only has a mild low-grade fever, the editor recommends that you do not go to the hospital. Parents can adjust the child through daily care, such as diet. How to regulate it specifically? Let’s take a look now.

Liquid foods that children can eat when they have a fever include:

(1) Milk. Milk can provide children with a certain amount of protein, and adding an appropriate amount of rice soup can provide some carbohydrates.

(2) Rice soup. Rice soup can provide children with carbohydrates, and it has sufficient water content, making it easier for sick children to absorb it through their stomachs. Boil the rice until it is soft and remove the residue to get rice soup.

(3) Mung bean soup. Mung beans are benign and have the effects of clearing away heat, detoxifying and relieving summer heat.

(4) Fresh fruit juice. The main ingredients of fresh fruit juice are vitamins, minerals and carbohydrates. It only contains a small amount of plant protein and is easy to absorb. In summer, you can drink watermelon juice, which has the effects of clearing away heat, quenching thirst and promoting diuresis. In autumn and winter, you can drink fresh pear juice, which has the effects of moistening the lungs, clearing the heart, relieving cough, and removing phlegm. Fresh orange juice has the effects of removing dampness, resolving phlegm, clearing the lungs, and unblocking meridians.

Semi-liquid foods that children can eat when they have a fever include lotus root powder, milk powder, porridge, eggs, and soft noodles.

It is worth noting that liquid food is generally consumed during the acute phase of illness, and semi-liquid food is consumed during the recovery phase or fever-reducing phase.

Do not suddenly add food that the child has not eaten before during the fever period to avoid diarrhea. If a child with a fever has a poor appetite, do not force him to eat, so as to avoid stomach discomfort and vomiting after eating, but be sure to pay attention to replenishing water.

Generally, when children have a low fever, the main way to treat it is through dietary changes, eating more high-calorie and high-vitamin foods to replenish energy. In addition, children's susceptibility to colds and fevers is also related to their resistance, so after the children recover, parents must take their children to exercise more and do more outdoor sports with their children.
