Question
An elderly family member accidentally fell and suffered from brain edema and skull fracture. Although the doctor said the issue is not serious, they still need to be well-rested at home. What types of food can aid in the recovery process?
Answer
It is recommended to allow the patient to rest at home and avoid any stimuli or collisions after determining the cause. In terms of diet, it is best to avoid gas-producing foods such as milk and soy milk to prevent bloating. Preparing light and delicious meals can be beneficial, such as minced meat steamed eggs (the meat should be finely chopped, preferably lean meat, with a small amount of shrimp skin added), small dumplings, soft noodles (with finely chopped vegetables added), steamed pumpkin, chicken shreds stir-fried with vegetables, scrambled tofu with eggs, fish congee, chicken congee, and mushroom congee.
