What to eat when your baby is sick

Summer is a season where bacteria easily breed and resistance is not very strong. It is easy to catch a cold when it is cold or hot in summer, and most of them are heat colds, which are more serious than other types of colds. In addition, children's resistance is not perfect, so they are more likely to get sick. The baby's appetite will also be affected to a certain extent after being sick. Parents can choose to adjust some diets according to the child's taste after the baby is sick, which will help the child's physical recovery.

Children's cold recipes

Ingredients:

100g millet, 50g scallion, 10g garlic (white skin)

practice:

1. Wash and chop the green onion.

2. Break the garlic into cloves. Wash the rice, add onion and garlic and cook together.

3. When cooked, remove from the pan and serve.

Dietary tips:

Onion and garlic porridge is a good food therapy for relieving colds. In addition, mothers can also try giving their babies some chicken soup.

Chicken soup contains many amino acids necessary for the human body. It is rich in nutrients and can significantly enhance the body's resistance to cold viruses. A special chemical substance in chicken can enhance the blood circulation in the pharynx and the secretion of nasal fluid, which is very effective in protecting the patency of the respiratory tract, eliminating respiratory viruses, and accelerating recovery from colds.

Ingredients:

Appropriate amount of rapeseed heart, a little rice noodles, appropriate amount of broth

practice:

1. Wash and chop the vegetables, and mix the rice noodles with cold water until there are no lumps.

2. Add broth to the pot and bring to a boil. Since the broth itself contains oil, there is no need to add oil. Add the seasoned rice noodles into the pot while stirring. It is OK when the soup in the pot becomes slightly thick. No need to add too much rice noodles. If you add too much, it will become a paste instead of soup.

3. Bring the soup with rice noodles to a boil again, add the chopped vegetables and stir.

4. Bring the soup in the pot to a boil again and cook for about 1 minute. When the vegetables are cooked, you can serve.

Dietary tips:

The diet of babies with fever should mainly consist of liquid food, such as milk, lotus root powder, soup (with less oil), etc. When the baby's body temperature drops and his appetite improves, he can be fed semi-liquid food, such as minced meat soup, noodles, porridge, egg drop porridge, etc. There is no need to avoid certain foods deliberately to prevent malnutrition and decreased resistance.

When a baby has a fever, his body temperature is very high and he is prone to dehydration. Some fruit juices can not only cool the body but also replenish water. For example, watermelon juice has the effects of clearing away heat, relieving summer heat, and promoting diuresis, and it can also promote the elimination of toxins. Fresh pear juice can clear away heat, moisten the lungs and relieve cough. It is suitable for babies with fever and cough.

It is worth noting that if the baby takes antipyretic drugs such as aspirin, acetaminophen, ibuprofen, etc., he cannot eat sweets at the same time, because the sugar in sweets will inhibit the absorption of these drugs.
