Egg custard is soft and smooth, and most moms think it's easy to digest. And the color of egg custard is golden, which looks very appetizing. Mothers are also used to making it for their babies when their appetite is not good. Especially after the baby falls ill, egg custard is an essential food. Can young children with fever eat egg custard?
Although the texture of egg custard is very soft and its characteristics are close to semi liquid, it is very difficult to digest due to the high protein nutritional content of eggs. When a baby has a fever, their gastrointestinal condition is not as good as usual, and their digestive ability is greatly weakened. Therefore, it is not easy for young children to eat egg custard when they have a fever. If a baby eats egg custard when they have a fever, their gastrointestinal health will also be threatened.
One reason is that egg custard is difficult to digest, and another important reason is that it is not recommended for babies to eat egg custard when they have a fever. Because when egg custard is digested, it releases a lot of heat energy, which can cause the baby's body temperature to rise and is not conducive to reducing fever.
Especially for babies who have a fever due to diarrhea, they are less likely to eat egg custard, otherwise it will worsen their gastrointestinal symptoms and lead to higher body temperature. For babies with a dry and hot constitution, they should also stay away from egg custard when they have a fever. At this stage, Baoma is suggested to make some vegetable Congee, white porridge and other foods for her baby.
