Hi thanks for asking question.
Noted he is diagnosed with viral flu.
Small meal taken with frequent interval.
Light diet means bland semisolid diet preferable like khichdi.
Cooked oatmeal good.
Mashed potato can be taken.
Fruits taken more.
In lunch and dinner green leafy salad can be taken.
Whole grain , wheat bran like high fiber food taken less as he is having diarrhea.
Junk food totally avoided for few days.
Excess tea and coffee avoided.
Take care.
