While no specific food can cure sickness, sometimes, eating the right thing can relieve symptoms and help you feel better. But keep in mind that what works for one person might not work for another. The best thing you can do when you don\u2019t feel well is to focus on what helps you and what sounds appealing.<\/p>\n

Here, dietitian\u00a0Andrea Dunn, RD, breaks down what foods to eat and drink when you\u2019re feeling under the weather.<\/p>\n

Foods to eat when sick<\/h3>\n

Dunn says that when you think about what foods to eat when you\u2019re sick, think about it as three basic categories:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. What to eat or drink when you\u2019re\u00a0dehydrated<\/strong>\u00a0(or to avoid becoming dehydrated).<\/li>\n
  2. What to eat or drink when your\u00a0gut is sick<\/strong>\u00a0(like diarrhea).<\/li>\n
  3. What to eat or drink when you feel\u00a0nauseous<\/strong>\u00a0(or have a stomachache).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    What to eat when you\u2019re dehydrated<\/h4>\n

    When you\u2019re sick and don\u2019t feel well, you might not have an appetite or you might feel like you can\u2019t keep anything down. But if you\u2019re not eating or drinking,\u00a0dehydration\u00a0can quickly set in.<\/p>\n

    \u201cOftentimes when we\u2019re sick and don\u2019t feel good, dehydration is a big part of it,\u201d explains Dunn. \u201cIt might be because you\u2019re throwing up or running to the bathroom every five minutes. Or you might feel so sick that you just don\u2019t have an appetite.\u201d<\/p>\n

    But dehydration is one of the biggest reasons why people end up in the emergency room when they\u2019re sick.<\/p>\n

    You might be so dehydrated that you can\u2019t walk or you pass out and hit your head. Moderate to severe dehydration needs quick medical attention. If left untreated, dehydration can cause urinary or kidney problems, seizures and can even be life-threatening.<\/p>\n\n
