Children around six years of age need a healthy diet consisting of fruits and vegetables, whole grain cereals, protein-rich foods like eggs, lean meat, pulses and legumes, dairy products, nuts, etc, and good quality fats to increase their immunity.
If your daughter does not like certain foods when sick, use these foods in different combinations. For example, make vegetable pulao with dal or paneer or soya which makes for a wholesome meal.
If she does not like soups, you can serve her other hot liquids like hot milk with turmeric and a pinch of pepper. You could also give her fruit/oats/nuts/dates smoothies.
Make vegetable/fruit preparations with colourful combinations and different shapes like a veg quiche or a wrap.
Fruit juices with mint, ginger or other flavourings will add healthy nutrients to her diet.
Berries with chia seeds or green vegetable juices will add valuable antioxidants and healthy fats.
Make sure she remains well hydrated.
Provide small and frequent meals and try and make sure she gets ample rest.
