How to eat during the child's illness

Children who grow and develop need nutritious foods. The body that resists disease needs nutrient-rich foods. However, the function of the digestive system during the disease is affected somewhat. On the one hand, the body needs more nutritious food, and on the other hand, the child cannot eat anything at all. This contradiction does cause many parents to worry.

Whether it is fever, diarrhea, vomiting, or cough, runny nose.... During the disease, the child's digestive system function weakened, and the child is given dietary foods that are easily accepted and easily digested. The following principles can be referenced (unless the disease has special contraindications):

Liquid and semi-liquid foods should be considered first. Whether it is a child or an adult, during the disease, liquid food is generally preferred to normal food. The baby who has not started to add complementary foods should drink as much milk as possible. In addition to adding milk, the baby who has not started to add complementary foods can increase the intake of boiled water and rice porridge; the older children, in addition to these, can also increase their intake of light. Soup.

Foods that prevent dehydration should be considered first. Appropriately increase the intake of fresh fruits and vegetables, according to the needs of the baby can be made of fruits and vegetables or even squeezed fruit juice. Babies usually do not like oral rehydration salts, which can be replaced with freshly squeezed apple juice to prevent dehydration or mild dehydration (note that it is not a commercially available beverage juice!). Moderate dehydration should be treated as soon as possible, and the doctor will take necessary rehydration.

Nutritional foods that children like should be considered first. When appetite falls due to illness, it is especially important to respect the child’s appetite. Give up the child to eat food that you think is nutritious and he does not want to eat. If the child is only willing to drink some milk to eat a little banana is also not a bad idea.

Do not try to add new food supplements during the disease. During the disease, the function of the digestive system is weakened, and the body may be in a highly sensitized state. At this time, new foods are prone to cause allergies and other diseases.

Eat small meals and avoid eating large amounts and eating foods that are not easily digested. Most diseases do not require additional special foods. It is time for the digestive system to rest properly.

Do not force, even if the child does not eat for 24 hours, do not force it. Children will eat according to their own needs. Once the disease recovers, his appetite will gradually improve. In fact, the child will make up for the "meals" missed during the illness after the illness has recovered. In other words, the child will regain the previously lost nutrition shortly after the illness recovers.
