Question 10

my child age 14 years she is suffering from jaundice and typhoid please suggest some food during illness?

Accepted Answer

See below: I would prescribe a high calorie high protein diet!
energy and protein needs are increased due to the fever (typhoid) and low intake. Meals should be small and given at frequent interval, instead of a few large meals a day. Intake of oral fluids and salts should be sufficient to cover up the loss.  A bland, soft (for easier digestion and absorption) may help.
