Children suffering from measles must be "taboo"?

Is it necessary for children to avoid eating when they have measles? Some old people advocate that children should not eat meat, eggs, milk, etc. when they have measles. They think that these foods are "hair". After eating them, children will get angry and will have eye excrement, runny nose or sore mouth. In fact, the children suffering from measles are not caused by food, but by some symptoms caused by measles virus.

Due to the high fever for several days, the metabolism of measles children is obviously enhanced, and the consumption of various nutrients in the body is greatly increased. At the same time, due to the loss of appetite, vomiting, diarrhea and other digestive disorders, the absorption of various nutrients is greatly reduced, which is bound to consume the protein, fat, carbohydrate and other nutrients stored in the body To maintain the body's needs.

All in all, measles children's need and consumption of various nutrients increased, but the intake and absorption decreased significantly, forming a negative balance of metabolism. This is very unfavorable to the health recovery of measles children, so it is necessary to supplement nutrition in time.

Measles children's diet is easy to digest and nutritious.

In the fever and rash period, the sick children should be given liquid food or semi liquid food, such as milk, soybean milk, egg soup, rice porridge, wonton, etc., which is not only nutritious, but also acceptable to the sick children. Give the sick children more water and hot soup, which is not only conducive to the elimination of toxins in the body, but also helps to reduce fever, and can also promote blood circulation, making the rash easily transparent.

When the rash subsides and enters the recovery period, the sick child's appetite improves and the food intake increases. You can give soft rice, cakes, lean meat, fish and so on. You should also give the child more fresh vegetables and fruits. Carrot contains a lot of carotene, which can be converted into vitamin A through the liver. It can not only prevent the occurrence of dry eye disease, but also help to repair the epithelial cells of skin mucosa. Fresh fruits and vegetables are rich in vitamin C, which can improve the body's ability to resist diseases. Therefore, measles children can not eat raw, cold and greasy food, and do not need to avoid eating.
