Heyo!!
Usually being sick means having a fever...
When ur body temperature raises due to a fever it means your whole body including internal organs temperature is raised.
I guess u know abt these glands in your stomach.. the pancreas, bile gland etc these glands release enzymes that digest the food u eat.
Now when u get a fever what happens is the enzymes are no more there, cuz they only stay active at an optimum temperature of your body.. now your body heat destroys them, so no more proper digestion
U get it?? So your body cant break down all the spicy complex food u eat..
Simple carbohydrates like bread and glucose are given so that they digest easily... now since u r just taking carbohydrates and no other nutrients, usually curd rice and milk are given together..
Its a good question btw, i had the same doubt when i was in 5th, just saying...
Hope this helps
