I make change in the food..many varities...still he is t showing much interest in food..he does nt like sweets...
He likes the things with curd..but can i give curd when he has cold or viral fever..and also give me ideas to make him eat Arti replied. Hi Manju, its very normal for kids to lose their appetite after a sickness specially which had cold and cough involved. Same case with Arjun, he is still recovering. This is what a nurse told me and works for me is respect his wishes. If he doesn't want to eat any solids offer him more of liquid, like juices (fruits+vegies+dal ka pani), liquid soups, milkshakes, smoothies, milk and water. Also keep offering some pureed food like, fruit puree or diluted kichadee etc. If he refused then offer some shake or juice or milk and try again at subsequent meal time. In couple of days, he might take a bite or two and that would be an indication that his appetite will be back to normal in 3-4 days. And once its back, he'll eat more than usual to recover for the time he didn't eat:) sheeja replied. Hi Manju, I would say, give him curd often especially when he is taking antibiotics.I dont no the exact reason, but still, antibiotics kills some of the good bacterias too, so in order to fight back kids should be given some extra good bacterias inform of yogurt. I use to give lots of yogurt to Trisha when she was in antibiotics. I dont no much, u can brwose google or consult his ped.
rEGARDS. Sudha replied. Dear MAnju,

How is Adi now, has he recovered from fever? What has your dr. advice on his diet? Depend on these you can decide whether you can offer him curd or not.

Kids normally like curd, you can make raita (i don't what we call in english), he will love it. I have given the same to my Adi and he loves it and want everyday.

Don't try sweet as he is just out from fever, normally during fever sweet taste we don't like.

You can make onion paratha with methi or palak, make it crisp and offer him with tomoato chatni. He will like it.

Take care,
Sudha
