Bread, specifically refined white bread, doesn't directly cure a fever. However, it can be beneficial in certain situations associated with fever.
Here's a breakdown:
-
Easy Digestibility: Refined white bread is easy to digest. According to the reference, "Refined white bread, crackers, and pasta are easy on your stomach if you have diarrhea or vomiting." When you have a fever, you might also experience nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea. In such cases, easily digestible foods like white bread can be helpful.
-
Hydration is Key: While bread itself doesn't hydrate you, it can be part of a strategy to stay hydrated. Staying hydrated is vital when you have a fever.

Addressing Specific Symptoms:
- If your fever is accompanied by diarrhea or vomiting, plain white bread or crackers can be a gentle option.
- The reference also mentioned that foods that reduce inflammation may help, but bread is not mentioned as such a food.
