  3. hello vishku..1st thing u didnt mention what stage of fever.if stage of high fever,u can give only liquid diet recipes like sweetened juice.in high fever,patient dont take interest to take some modified diet.but patient want to eat different then take apple stew which also seen in gruel form and its also useful in diarrhoea.
    Gruel is not a single dish,its can make from many vegetables,fruits,cereals,its thinner version of porridge.
