Pediatrician,  's  Response
thanks for your question. child is having fever so first control it with paracetamol. once fever is down child will be able to take water. also fever creates dehydration. so yes u can give juices or plain water or ors ad lib. though i would suggest normal fluids as better since child hasnt lost fluid as such.

also simple home preparstions like soups , porridge, mashed potatos, khichdi if you know indian receipe would be easy acceptable food nw.
