Can you drink Milo when you have a fever?

Answer 1

Yes, but no. Milk curdles in your stomach no matter what, as a part of the digestive process. The temperature increase of 4-5 degrees for a serious fever has a negligible effect on the process.

Milk is extremely rough on the digestive system, sick or healthy, and it makes it more difficult to digest any food you eat with it. For that reason, it is not a good idea to consume milk while you're sick; ie, while your body and metabolic processes are weakened, as a slowed digestive process amplifies the effects that milk has.

But if you absolutely have to have a glass of milk just consider the following:

1) if you have been having stomach problems, with or without fever, milk has a strong chance of exacerbating them.

2) Drink it alone. The milk curdles collect around food particles in your stomach, and make them more difficult to digest. Drink milk by itself in order to prevent this effect.

3) Start small! Drink a small amount to start with, and gauge your reaction to it.

No it will cause you to throw-up and get an upset stomach. The reason has been attributed to "curdling" which is caused by both the elevated temperature as well as the milk mixing with the acids in the stomach. It's important to note that the body has the ability to fight off most infections. A fever is the body's way of "cooking off" these infections. However, it has been my experience that 2 % milk left at 100 degrees for 3 hours had produced so much bacteria that we couldn't get an accurate count. Though this hasn't been proven yet, I believe milk will react to the higher body temperature and produce excesses of bacteria, which will make the body have to work harder to break the fever. As with any fever, it is important to consult a physician. In the meantime, you can hydrate the person with the fever by giving them fluids high in electrolytes, such as Gatorade or Pedialyte. Try to avoid foods high in protein, as they are prone to causing diahrrea and worsening the dehydration effects of the fever.

Answer 2

In short: Yes, it's usually very safe.

However, you should be aware that some people, in the aftermath of an intestinal flu, will be become lactose intolerant.

This state is due to cellular destruction in the GI-tract, and is self-limiting, and will usually pass in 3-4 weeks time, and will pass as soon as the cells regenerate.

Answer 3

You can drink it, but depending on how high of a fever you have it may make you sick. When you have a fever, you're body temperature is hotter than normal and it causes the milk to curdle(sour)on your stomach. In turn making you sick to your stomach....usually vomitting follows.

Answer 4

While there probably will not be permanent harm, dairy products have a tendency to build up phlegm in the throat. It may interfere slightly with breathing.
