What diet should be followed when you have swine flu?

Answer 1

Your normal diet, as long as it is nutritious. You can eat whatever tastes good. Some people recommend eating less dairy products with colds and flu and often will say that dairy products increase your production of mucus. It may well be helpful to avoid dairy when you have mucus, although it actually does not seem to increase the quantity of mucus production according to recent studies. It is now suggested that it just makes the mucus that is there feel more thick and noticeable. Reduce the dairy and see if it makes you more comfortable. Foods rich in vitamin C, like Oranges, tomatoes, etc. are suggested and those foods also often make your mouth and throat feel better by clearing some of the mucus.
