Dear Parent,
Diet plays an important role in recovering from a fever. The overall diet should be light and easy to digest. Here are some tips to help your 9-year-old to recover soon.
1. Lots of fluids: It is important to drink a lot of fluids to help your child feel better. Fluids in the form of soup, hot tea, or just plain water are recommended. If your child had a cold and cough, hot soups can help loosen the dried mucus in the nasal passages and help relieve symptoms. Soups can also help boost his appetite.
2. Protein: Lean protein can help regain energy to fight off the infection. You can choose bland foods such as scrambled eggs and unseasoned chicken. If your child is not able to take solids, opt for a smoothie or a shake made using non-fat milk and yogurt.
3. Fruits: Choose soft fruits like banana, papaya, oranges, sweet lime, and melons. Vitamin C-rich foods can help boost immunity.
4. Avoid fatty foods: It is a strict no for spicy and fatty foods as they can be hard to digest. Kichidi and poha with lots of vegetables can be good to start with for recovery.
Remember that your child is slowly recovering from the illness and it is natural for him not to have a great appetite. Do not force your child to eat, if he doesn't like it. Just stop and feed him after a short break. Also, make sure that he gets plenty of rest. Give him lots of soups of drink as they are easy to digest and rich in nutrients that will help him with recovery. Wishing your child a speedy recovery!
