What do I eat during a fever?

Doctors/nurses: What should you eat when you have a fever?

  • I've had a fever since yesterday afternoon around 1:00. My temperature keeps going up and down. The low was 99.4 F and the high was 101.8 F. I get really bad chills and a stomach ache on and off. I've been drinking lots of water already. For food, what would you recommend? I've heard cold foods like ice cream and popsicles are good since they help lower the fever but I also heard that any dairy (which is in ice cream) is bad for you when you have a fever. Is that true? Should I drink and eat cold/hot foods?

  • Answer:

    Sounds like an infection (BTW) OK, Dr.s say to eat the B.R.A.T diet when in doubt,good if your tummy is...upset too. That is : Bananas Rice Applesauce Toast this is also for when you have diarrhea. remember to drink plenty of water too.

I have a 101.8 fever at the moment. I'm drinking a lot of Gatorade and sleeping. Dairy is bad when your sick. Drink clear soda like sprite to help with the stomach ache. Hope I help.

when im sick the only thing i'll touch is applesauce. sometimes dry toast.. im not too much into eating when im sick but if you are eating then ur body will be stronger and get better faster so just eat. and of course keep hydrated water is the best thing for your body when your sick or not. the more water the healthier for you.
