[P-1]

When you have a fever, the body's resistance decreases, and energy is wasted. Timely and adequate nutrition for the body is very necessary. However, it is necessary to note the following 5 taboos:

1. Don't drink too much tea

Drinking a lot of tea and drinking too much tea will make the brain in an excited state, increasing blood pressure, leading to an increase in the patient's body temperature.

At the same time, tea will affect the absorption, decomposition and reduce the effectiveness of fever-reducing drugs.

2. Don't drink too many cold drinks

Drinking too many cold drinks will not lower your body temperature, but will only increase your fever.

If the fever is caused by infectious diseases such as dysentery, the function of the gastrointestinal tract is reduced, drinking too cold drinks will also be very dangerous to health.

3. Do not eat honey

When you have a fever, it is essential to eat foods that can lower your body temperature.

Honey is a tonic that can nourish the spleen and kidneys. However, if you eat too much honey when you have a fever, not only will it increase your body temperature, but you can also easily get other diseases.

4. Limit eating spicy food

When there is a fever, the body's metabolism will be active. Ginger, chili and many other spicy spices will produce a lot of heat in the body and aggravate the illness, affecting the recovery of the fever patient.

5. Don't eat too many eggs

Eggs contain many nutrients that are good for health. However, eggs have a lot of protein, so eating eggs will increase body heat, not spreading to the outside, leading to higher fever and longer recovery.
