Introduction
Fever refers to an elevated body temperature. When the fever has just subsided, the body's resistance is still relatively weak. It is generally acceptable to drink a moderate amount of warm Vitasoy. However, if the Vitasoy is cold, expired, or if the patient is allergic to soy products, it should usually be avoided. After recovering from fever, it is important to drink plenty of water and get adequate rest. If any other discomfort occurs, medical attention should be sought promptly.

Vitasoy is a beverage made from soybeans. Fever refers to an elevated body temperature. When fever has just subsided, the body's resistance is still relatively weak. In such cases, it is generally acceptable to drink a moderate amount of Vitasoy, preferably warm. However, if the Vitasoy is cold, expired, or if the individual is allergic to soy products, it should usually not be consumed.

1. Can drink

Vitasoy is primarily made from soybeans and contains various nutrients such as vitamins, protein, and calcium. Drinking it can provide essential nutrition and help enhance the body's immune function. Since the body remains relatively weak immediately after fever, occasionally drinking a moderate amount may help replenish nutrients and support recovery. It is advisable to consume Vitasoy at room temperature or slightly warmed. Avoid drinking it cold, as this may irritate the intestines and potentially lead to recurrence of symptoms.

2. Should not drink

Vitasoy that has been refrigerated or frozen and remains cold in temperature should generally not be consumed, as it may cause constriction of blood vessels or intestines, impair heat dissipation, and potentially lead to increased body temperature. Expired Vitasoy should also not be consumed, as it may have spoiled—leading to poor taste or the growth of harmful substances that could cause food poisoning. Since soybeans are the main ingredient, individuals with allergies to legumes or soy products should avoid drinking Vitasoy, especially during the recovery phase from fever, as it may trigger allergic reactions such as skin itching, redness, swelling, or rashes.

After fever has just subsided, it is important to drink plenty of water, get adequate rest, and consume foods that are high in protein and vitamins and easy to digest. If any other discomfort occurs, prompt medical attention is recommended.
