Hi Pritika,
I hope you are doing well.
It is not known as to how long the virus can survive on fruits or vegetables. However, whenever you get any fruits or vegetables home, wash them under running water for about a minute or place it in lukewarm water for a while, wipe it and let it dry for few hours before you use it :)

child's diet as they produce heat in body. Is this true?
Huda Shaikh
Anything in excess is bad Mehak :)
But adding little bit of cinnamon and cloves won't do any harm.In fact, it is good for your child's immunity.

You can feed him ragi thrice in a week and rest of the days you feed him oats or daliya.

You can feed fresh fruits rather (mashed or pureed).
Give him this diet.
