Because the spleen and stomach functions of patients with colds are often affected, soft and light foods are easy to digest and absorb, which can reduce the burden on the spleen and stomach. Therefore, it is advisable to eat liquid or liquid foods such as white rice porridge, milk, cornmeal porridge, rice soup, soft noodles, egg soup, lotus root powder paste, almond powder paste, etc.

If the fever subsides and the appetite improves, you can change to a semi-liquid diet, such as noodle soup, chicken soup, dragon beard noodles, small wontons, vegetable puree porridge, meat floss porridge, liver puree porridge, egg drop porridge.
