What Diet Is Suggested While Having Fever And Cough?

Hello Dr.Santosh,

My name is Shifa and I am from India. I have a son who is 2.5 years old. I oftenly get worried about his diet when he suffers from cold or cough. What food do you suggest me to give him when he is suffering from fever, cold or cough and what food to avoid.

Thank you and Appreciate your advise.

Hi... Many thanks for consulting in Health Care Magic. There's no such food which nerds to be avoided or specifically given when child has cough and cold. Anything which the kid asks can be given. Its a false belief that chocolate & citrus fruits need to be avoided. Actually citrus fruits have vitamin C which is very Good for cold. Hope my answer was helpful for you. Happy to help anytime. Further clarifications and consultations on Health Care Magic are welcome.
