When a baby has a fever, in addition to poor mental status, his appetite will also decrease. The gastrointestinal function is weak during this period, so in terms of diet, it is necessary for the baby to eat an appropriate amount of foods that are easy to digest and absorb. So, what can a three-year-old baby eat when he has a fever?

1. The food that a three-year-old baby can eat during a fever should be mainly liquid food. Because liquid foods can add enough water and calories to the body, such as porridge, pumpkin rice, soy milk, vegetable soup and other soup-based foods.

2. During this period, the baby should also drink an appropriate amount of milk to provide the protein nutrition needed by the body, and drink more rice soup, which can not only nourish the stomach but also increase body moisture and avoid fever. Causes body dehydration. There are also freshly squeezed juices that babies can drink in moderation during fever, which can relieve cough, eliminate phlegm and clear away heat, and can also supplement vitamins.

3. During fever, most babies will have poor appetite, so they sometimes eat less. Parents should not force their children to eat more. Instead, eat smaller meals more often, which will reduce the burden on the gastrointestinal tract and allow the food you eat to be better digested and absorbed.

4. In addition, when the baby has a fever, the diet should be mainly light, and greasy and fried foods should not be eaten. At the same time, excessive intake of highly nutritious supplementary foods will increase the digestive burden. Fever recovery will also have an impact.
