QUESTION

What food I eat in malaria?

ANSWER

If you mean what foods should you eat while you are suffering from malaria, then there are no specific diet specifications. Since many people feel nauseous and sick to their stomach while they are suffering from the disease, it may be hard to get people to eat anything at all – however, it is very important that the patient takes in a lot of fluids (water, diluted juice, herbal tea) in order to keep from getting dehydrated. If they are able to eat small amounts of food, that will also help to keep their strength up. Plain foods such as rice or dry toast may be the easiest for the person to digest, without feeling more nauseous.
