When you have a fever, it is appropriate to eat some beef congee, as it helps replenish vitamins and thereby boosts your immune system. Pay close attention to your diet in daily life. During a fever, avoid overly greasy foods and instead opt for light, easily digestible meals. Drink plenty of water. If symptoms persist without improvement, consider using antipyretic medications.
