Can children with cough and fever eat eggs?
The child has a cold, is coughing severely, and has a fever. I want to provide him with some additional nutrition. Can children with cough and fever eat eggs?

Hello, this situation should be caused by an upper respiratory tract viral infection. You can eat eggs, as they do not affect coughing or fever. If the body temperature exceeds 38.5°C, timely administer the fever-reducing medication ibuprofen (e.g., Meilin). Drink plenty of hot water, apply physical cooling methods, and take cold medicine and antiviral medications such as Pediatric Paracetamol Granules (Xiao'er Anfen Alkamine Granules) and Lanqin Oral Liquid. Please note that Pediatric Paracetamol Granules are recommended for children aged 1 year and older. Encourage drinking more hot water, staying warm to avoid colds, consuming more vegetables and fruits, getting more sun exposure, and enhancing the child's immunity.
