Fever is a common problem for children. When they have a fever, they may feel lethargic or even drowsy. In fact, when you have a fever, in addition to actively seeking treatment, you also need to pay more attention to your diet. For example, there are some beverages that cannot be consumed when you have a fever, but there are some beverages that are particularly suitable for drinking when you have a fever. So what drinks should I drink for a fever? What else can we drink more?
1、 What beverages should not be consumed during a fever
Avoid drinking too much tea: Drinking strong tea can keep the brain in an excited state, accelerate the pulse, raise blood pressure, and cause the patient's body temperature to rise and become restless. Meanwhile, tea water can affect the breakdown and absorption of drugs, reducing their therapeutic efficacy.
Secondly, avoid drinking too many cold drinks: If the fever is caused by infectious diseases such as bacterial dysentery caused by unclean food, the gastrointestinal function will decline, and drinking too many cold drinks will worsen the condition, even endangering life.
Three taboos: excessive consumption of honey: During a fever, the main focus should be on clearing heat and not nourishing. Honey is a supplement for nourishing qi and nourishing the middle of the body. If honey is taken too much, it can prevent patients from effectively clearing and eliminating internal heat, and may also lead to other complications.
2、 What is a good drink to drink when you have a fever
1. Hot ginger sugar water: Brown sugar water boiled with ginger can have a cooling effect, so you may want to give it a try when you have a fever.
2. Hot Ginger Cola: Cola is a beverage commonly consumed by young people in modern times. However, it is not just a beverage. Boiling it with ginger slices to drink can dispel cold and reduce fever. For patients with fever, it is a good antipyretic formula.
3. Chrysanthemum tea: Chrysanthemums have the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying. When you have a fever, soaking a pot of tea with chrysanthemums that are in the flowering stage can warm the body and eliminate heat toxins. Therefore, for fever patients with symptoms of chills, drinking a pot of hot chrysanthemum tea in a timely manner can have a good effect on reducing fever and cooling. You might as well give it a try.
4. Herbal teas that can help reduce fever: When you have a fever, you can also try some herbal teas, such as thyme, chamomile, and other Chinese herbs that have antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and sweating effects. Using them to brew hot tea and drink while it's still hot has a good effect on reducing fever and dissipating heat.
5. Try some folk remedies for cold and fever: When you have a cold and fever accompanied by symptoms such as excessive phlegm and dry mouth, you may want to try some folk remedies. Use ginger, white radish, scallion, and brown sugar to boil and drink while hot. After sweating all over, you will feel that the symptoms of excessive phlegm and dry mouth have significantly improved. This small folk remedy has the effects of dispelling cold, dissipating heat, reducing inflammation, and resolving phlegm. You may want to try it when you have a fever.
If your baby is running a fever, then you must not drink tea for your baby, and it is best not to give your child cold drinks. Honey consumption should also be restricted, and it is best to drink more hot ginger syrup and other drinks, which can have a good effect on your child's body.
