What should I eat when my baby has a fever and rolls his eyes?

Colds and fevers are the most common diseases in life. Generally speaking, babies are most likely to develop fever symptoms due to weather reasons, and fever and rolling eyes are also common symptoms in babies when they have a cold. Therefore, parents should actively respond to the situation of fever and rolling eyes in babies and take good care measures. Let’s take a closer look at it below.

When a child has a fever, it is generally considered a fever if the armpit temperature is over 37.5 degrees. If the temperature does not exceed 38.5 degrees, physical cooling (alcohol bath, warm water bath, hot water foot soak, ice pack cold compress, etc.) or fever-reducing patch is recommended for treatment; if the temperature is greater than 38.5 degrees, physical cooling and oral antipyretics (Bifurin, Tylenol, etc.) are recommended for observation, and attention should be paid to temperature monitoring; if the temperature exceeds 39.5 degrees, in addition to the above cooling methods, it is recommended to be admitted to the hospital for blood examination and symptomatic treatment.

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.

What should a baby eat when he has a fever and rolls his eyes? As mentioned above, for the symptoms of fever and rolling eyes in babies, parents should first treat their condition. At the same time, they should also provide corresponding care in their daily diet arrangements. Liquid foods such as milk, rice soup, lotus root powder and mung bean soup are suitable for babies with colds and fevers.
