fever food items - #13753

Rashi

I am really worried about my 7-year-old son. For the last few days, he’s had a fever that's just not budging. Like, his temperature spikes every afternoon but then drops back to normal at night, which is super weird. He’s also been complaining about stomach pains, and he’s super picky with food. I heard about fever food items that might help but honestly, I have no idea what to give him. I've tried chicken soup, but he barely touched it! Maybe he needs something easier on his tummy? The other day, I gave him some bananas because people say they’re good when you're sick, but he didn’t want to eat any. I’d heard about fever food items like rice or toast being gentle, but will that actually help him? He won’t even drink much liquid, and I worry about dehydration. Has anyone here dealt with something like this? What fever food items did you find worked best for your kids? I feel like I'm going in circles trying to figure this out, and I want to make sure he’s getting what he needs. Any advice would be seriously appreciated!
