Usually, when we are sick, we will improve our diet to make the disease heal faster, especially for babies, because their bodies cannot withstand the side effects caused by taking strong drugs, so most of them still need to eat some food to solve the problem. So what should babies eat when they cough and have a fever? The following insights are for reference only.
When the baby coughs and has a fever, the Congee should be light, because the baby's digestive function is poor at this time. Eating greasy Congee will cause the baby's stomach to have a greater burden. You can give your baby rice porridge, but generally rice porridge has no taste and your baby doesn't like it, so you can give your baby some vegetable Congee instead of lean meat Congee.
What to do if a baby coughs and has a fever:
1. When a younger baby coughs and has a fever, it is not suitable to take medicine or get injections because the baby's resistance is weak. Therefore, when the baby has a fever, parents should use physical methods to cool down, such as wiping the baby's body with a towel dipped in warm water.
2. When babies feel hot and sweat, parents should reduce their clothing appropriately to avoid hindering their body's heat dissipation.
3. Supplementing babies with water and allowing them sufficient sleep time are generally the best treatment methods. When babies drink too much warm water, it can warm up their dry throat caused by coughing and accelerate detoxification.
