Dear Madam/ Sir,
Thank you for posting your query at healthcaremagic.com
Kids are usually fussy when they are in fever. White spots in the tongues are called milk spots when they do not digest milk during fever.
Give your child a dose tylenol and wait for the fever to come down at that moment. Moment the fever is down feed the child properly with intervals.
The food which could give the child
- Fluids like fruit juices, porridge, boiled lentil water, mashed fruits, boiled veggies, mild soup.
The child will only eat properly when fever reduces.
Give plenty of fluids which will rehydrate him and soft diet will help him in easy digestion.
If you have any further query please revert back to me, I will be happy to assist you.
With best wishes,
Dr. Vishwanath Patil
