Can children drink milk when they have a fever?

In fact, children can drink milk after they have a fever. This drink will not cause their disease to worsen. However, the milk must be boiled before drinking. This will not irritate their gastrointestinal tract and will not make the fever worse. In addition, they should be given more boiled water, which will have a cooling effect.

"Lactose intolerance" has been proven by scientific experiments. It is a recessive genetic symptom. People with this recessive gene cannot completely digest lactose in their stomachs after drinking milk. The other lactose that has not been "processed" will ferment in the intestines and irritate the intestines. We have to go to the toilet to solve the problem.

1. The milk must be boiled: Generally, the temperature requirement for milk sterilization is not high, 3 minutes at 70°C and 6 minutes at 60°C. If boiled, the temperature reaches 100°C, and the lactose in the milk caramelizes, which can cause cancer. After boiling, the calcium in the milk will precipitate as phosphate, thereby reducing the nutritional value of the milk.

2. The thicker the milk, the better: Some people believe that the thicker the milk, the more nutrition the body gets. This is unscientific. The so-called over-concentrated milk refers to milk with more milk powder and less water added, which makes the concentration of milk exceed the normal proportion standard. Some parents are afraid that fresh milk is too light, so they add milk powder to it.

The concentration of milk that infants and young children drink should be proportional to the age of the child, and its concentration should gradually increase with the age of the child in months. If infants and young children often drink too concentrated milk, it will cause diarrhea, constipation, loss of appetite, and even refusal to eat. Over time, it will cause acute hemorrhagic enteritis. This is because the internal organs of infants and young children are delicate and cannot withstand excessive burden and pressure. So the thicker the milk, the better.

3. The more sugar you add, the better: Adding sugar is to increase the calories provided by carbohydrates. It must be quantified. Generally, 5 to 8 grams of sugar is added for every 100 ml of milk. Too much sugar entering the baby's body will retain water in the body, making the muscles and subcutaneous tissue become loose and weak, making the baby look fat, and the body's resistance is very poor, which may also become a risk factor for some diseases.

4. It is best to add sucrose to milk. After sucrose enters the digestive tract and is broken down by digestive juices, it turns into glucose and is absorbed by the human body. Some parents buy glucose specifically for their children, but this is unnecessary. Glucose has a low sweetness level and using too much of it can easily exceed the prescribed range, and children will also refuse to eat it because it is not sweet.

Some people often cook milk and sugar together in order to make the sugar dissolve faster. This is unscientific. Add sugar and milk together and heat them, the lysine in the milk will react with fructose at high temperature (80℃ ~ 100℃) to produce a harmful substance - fructosyllysine, which cannot be digested and absorbed by the human body and will cause harm to the body. If you want to drink sweet milk, it is best to add sugar after the milk boils. This substance is also very harmful to children. Therefore, the boiled milk should be cooled to warm temperature (40℃~50℃) before adding sugar to dissolve it. Remember not to add sugar when boiling milk.
