A member asked:
Can my 6 years old daughter eat banana when she is suffering from fever?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
YES: Always and especially during illness, encourage healthy diet rich in vitamins and complex carbs. If stomach sx, avoid acidic, spicy and high fat. If diarrhea, esp avoid high sugar fluids. Optimize calorie intake rather than being restrictive- low calorie diet can prolong some symptoms. Frozen bananas excellent during febrile illness.
