What Is The Diet To Be Followed When Having Viral Fever?

Hello Sir, I got viral fever from last 3-4 days. Symptoms are joint pains, muscles pain, eye redness and some time feeling very cold, making me restless. I am taking paracetamol. Please suggest what should I eat in this condition to get well soon. Thanks Puneet

Not only viral fever but any other type of fever can make our digestion weak so it is always advisable to have mild, bland diet.
Avoid spicy, oily food & ouside eatables items. increase the contents of milk buttermilk & curd in food. ( better to have curd/buttermilk rice rather than dal rice. ) Drink plenty of water ( mineral/ purfied / boiled & cooled water). Increase the contents of fruits in the diet. better to have fresh whole fruits rather than having fruit juices.
Apart from diet my advice would be if you have not taken any medical consultation then it is very important to have atleast one visit to your physicain who after examining will guide you about the investigations if required.
As in the viral fever there is threat of having low platlet counts it is important to get it checked.
Caution : Be attentive towards any kind of blood loss from any where from body. If you notice any kind of blood loss rush to the doctor.
