foreign [Music] Hello everyone,
I’m Dr Netravati P Shirur, I'm a Consultant Pediatrician and Neonatologist,
currently working at Purnam Clinic, Bangalore. So what kind of food should we give when a child is
sick or down with fever? I would recommend keep it very very simple and easy. Food which are simple
and easily digestible. Give them food like which is semi-solid bland warm food, for example like
clear soup, khichdi, porridge, kanji it can be ragi kanji, or rava kanji . All kind of fruits,
boiled vegetables, clear soups, fruit juices, plenty of water, it can be plain water, it can be
tender coconut water even buttermilk. If the curd is set at room temperature is highly recommended.
Avoid fried oily foods and then give them plenty of water.
Hydrate them. Do not force feed them.
Lot of parents say that my child is not eating the quantity has come down yes they take time. Once
they recover they get back their appetite. So feed them on demand. Do not force them and just let
them eat in whatever quantity they like. [Music].
