3 Mistakes You Make When You Catch A Cold, Cough Or Fever

[shahsaatil]

Once a doctor told me not to fast during fever
Body needs energy...

[bhavyajoshii]

I had 103 fever and to feel better quickly I took your advice. I actually got worse. So to others.. Don't fast please. And sleeping is nearly impossible with fever so use wet cloth or take a medicine it's fine. I hope this helps someone in need and they don't suffer like I did 😔

Please don't fast when sick, body needs food for energy but eat something easier to digest like soups and include fruits, juice and plenty of water. I eat spicy food with lots of ginger and take lemon water, water steeped with cloves, peppercorn, cinnamon throughout and i find it helps me personally to recover fast as i don't have the luxury to rest at home for a simple cold or fever. I make my own immunity shots with ginger, turmeric and honey and it works like magic for throat pain.

No one has time to rest for 4-5 days. We have to recover fast and go to work.

Fasting is not good. For your immune system to work body needs energy.

No one feels like eating when down with fever. Still we need to eat something to give strength to our immune system.

Don’t neglect check ups. Many times fever is not just fever. It could be a symptom of a big problem.

For example…

Here in USA ppl get influenza type A. If not treated in right time, it can lead to death. Many ppl die every year because of flu.

We need to take medicine to recover when sick and to take medicine we need to take food.

Take more carb and protein food and avoid fat food.

Last point is very valid. Rest means complete rest and screen viewing is not rest.

Never ever fast while u are sick,
Increase in body temperature by 1° during fever leads to increase in Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) i.e. body energy needs by X 7

Its very difficult to rest when your headaches makes you fully awake and having a hard time to sleep.

[ashvikashalini]

Do not fast when you’re sick. She is not completely wrong here. You should eat but yes, I do suggest to eat lighter meals with healthy fats, carbs, and proteins. You BMR increases when you’re sick, means you need more energy to fight off.

half knowledge as more dangerous than no knowledge.

[froggy]

Honestly it’s different for everyone how they recover, just make sure to be gentle with your body during these times

DO NOT FAST WHEN YOU'RE SICK..
instead.. try comforting soups or any kinda of light meal..
In fact.. mommy jab chawal mung daal bhi khilati hai to bhi Aram milta hai..

[sarataskeen]

I agree with taking rest but not with the other 2. When you are sick, you need to eat a nutritional and full meal, and stay away from unsuitable food or snacks.
The pills are prescribed on doctor's medication, as when u fall sick it is better to take a guidance from a doctor than a 30 second YouTube reel.

Its very difficult to take rest if u r a housewife and no maid at home. Have to do everything by ourselves 😒😒😒

Edit- so many likes🤣

[poppyseed]

Your face is literally perfect sis, i hope you know this!

[himani]

It's wrong.... I m mbbs student and we have been taught that in fever we should eat bcs that time our metabolism is high so for recovering u need energy

[ruksanashaik]

Could you please make a video about stretch marks 😔

[sahibasiddiqui]

I am a mother of 10 month old baby and a teacher in school, no one is at my home to help me.I have forgotten the meaning of rest

[guduru]

[satyanarayanamurthygampa]

[ThatWeirdoKk]

If you are hungry when you are sick it'll make you feel worse.

Yes, maybe don't eat the usual foods you do but definitely eat at least a bit. And simple foods only
