Food for toddlers during fever

anasri78 · Jan 13, 2009

Hi, Please advise on what food to give for my 2 year old daughter who is down with fever. Is it ok to give rasam rice and curd rice or any kanji? She is not eating anything since she has got fever.

If this topic has already been discussed, please provide me the link of the same.

Thanks in advance.

dear friend,
fever is indication of some infection in the body.so,if her stomach is upset give her kichadi,yoghurt & little diluted fresh orange juice.avoid spices
if her throat is troubling her then again some kichadi with no spices except salt.u can try little suji kheer also.aviod sour things.

Idli,Rasam rice and Sabhudhana Kanji are some of the foods that can be given.

Give her lots of fluid like soup ,juices,milk to keep her hydrated.give her kanji or kichidi with veggie.I read in some aricle that tamarind reduces immunity power so i don't give rasam.Make her fever come down first giving fever reducer after one hour they feel hungry and eat something what we give.

Hope she will get well soon.

Thank you for the reply. Her fever has reduced. But she has a lot of dry cough. Is there any home made medicine for it?

dear friend,
we use these tips to erase dry cough.
1.we make kids garggle with warm water to which we add few drops of desi ghee.
2.we fry a ts of besan(chickpea flour)in equal amount of desi ghee .when it changes colour to brown & aroma starts coming we add milk to it.then sugar & give it to kids just as they r about to sleep.no water drinking after that.
