I always wonder this too when someone at home gets a fever. My mom usually makes simple khichdi or plain daal chawal. And lots of fluid like fresh fruit juices or just warm water. Is there anything else that helps with the body aches too?
When you have a fever, hydration is number one. My doctor always stresses on clear fluids. For food, I'd say light, easily digestible options like daal, rice, or soft idlis. For me, managing BP means I also watch salt intake, even when sick. Always consult a doctor for prolonged fever, don't ignore it.
Ah, fever is never fun! The best approach is to give the body easily digestible foods so it can focus on healing. Thin moong dal, suji ka upma, plain daliya, and vegetable broths are excellent. And keep sipping on warm water, ginger tea, or fresh lime water. Rest is equally important.
Just focus on light, soothing foods. Khichdi, warm soups, fruits like bananas. And drink plenty of water. Your body needs all the energy to recover.
Bland food and lots of fluids, that's it. Keep it simple. Khichdi, plain daal, boiled veggies, and plenty of water or clear soup. No fried stuff, no spices. Body needs to rest, not digest heavy food.

I always get confused about what to eat during fever. Should we avoid milk completely? My grandmom says no milk during fever, but some say milk helps with strength. What's the right thing?
