Drink plenty of clear liquids, including purified water, clear soups and broths, gelatin, and juices. Avoid apple and pear juices, caffeine, and alcohol.-Get Bed Rest. Minimize all activities and stay in bed as much as possible. Getting as much sleep and rest as possible is a key ingredient in recovering from any infection.-Add Foods Gradually. When you are ready to eat solid foods, stick to low-fiber foods at first. Try soda crackers, toast, eggs or rice.-Avoid fatty foods, high-fiber foods or highly seasoned foods can make symptoms worse.Hope my answer was helpful,if you have any other question I will be glad to answer,thanks!
