Toddler post fever recovery not eating
Pls help me with deit of my 1.7year old son.
He is just recovering from 102 fever and is very cranky all the time he is not eating **anything** except half dry roti per day or roasted corn. He is taking only milk (almost 1 and half litre) and water for fluids. I have tried coconut water, juice, lemon sharbat, kokam sharbat, buttermilk, etc but he is just not accepting anything and is irritable and crying. Also he doesn't eat any solid food at all. What to do pls suggest what exactly to feed him. I've taken lots of efforts in building his health but this fever is just ruining his health he isn't eating anything. He hasn't even eaten any fruits. All this has been going in for a week now!

Hi. I am a homeopathic physician and would suggest that you consult personally for homeopathic treatment so that the adverse effects of fever and loss of appetite are taken care of first.Only when he feels like eating, we can suggest a proper diet for him. Right now , give what he likes and is able to retain.
You can try veg idli, stir fried paneer, soya cutlet, curd rice, dal parantha, peanut butter sandwich, fruit cream or fruit custard etc

Hi,I am Dr.kavita soni. I would suggest you to stop milk and roti if he doesn't want to eat. Body is trying to recover from illness through increased body temperature which you call as fever. Fever is not exactly an illness. It is a symptom that body is recovering from some underlying disease. In such cases, body uses its energy in healing and not in digesting grains and other food items. So if he doesn't feel like eating, then don't give food. After few hours if he feels like eating, then give fruits like watermelon, Muskmelon, banana, mango etc. You can also give homeopathic medicine for faster relief.

Gud morning pls use homeopathy for relief from cold n cough.Try to feed your baby fully liquid food items which can be easily digestible at this time like clear soups,tender coconut water,fruit juices home made,whn your baby shows interest to have it then gradually introduce semi solid foods in small amount at first.
