fever patient diet - #12740

Aasha

I am really struggling to figure out what I should eat as a fever patient right now. Just a few days ago, I started feeling terrible—first, it was chills, then this awful headache and a high fever hit me outta nowhere. I went to the doc and they said it's a viral infection, nothing serious, but man, I can’t shake this fever! I’ve been trying to eat, but all my usual food doesn’t appeal to me, and I keep wondering if I'm even eating what I should be. The other day, I had some broth because I heard that’s good for a fever patient diet, but it just felt too bland. Should I be focusing on more proteins or maybe some fruits? I read online that citrus might help but then I got scared about acidity on an upset stomach? Ugh! It's all so confusing. What is really a good fever patient diet? How can I make sure I’m getting nutrients without risking more nausea or upsetting my stomach? I seriously need advice from someone who knows their stuff!
