What to feed a flu

When your child has the flu what do YOU give them?

We are mostly bread and water but I am curious for when their tummies start to be slowly stronger for other foods.

Liquids, gatorade, sprite, pedialite, OJ, popsicles. KEEP THEM HYDRATED.
Bananas, rice, apples & toast.

ETA: This is what I was given when I was smaller & what I give my nephews when they are sick, My DD isn't old enough yet.

Hot juice normally with honey and lemon, keeps they're colds at bay

Thank you! I had completely forgotten about the BRAT diet. My daughter rarely gets the full blown flu.

DS isn't old enough, he just nurses when he's sick. Lol. But my mom always gave me ginger ale, sprite, toast, scrambled eggs, rice and gravy, and homemade chicken soup. I would mostly drink the broth.

If her tummy is up to par by dinnertime rice and gravy sounds like a good, mild yet more substance food. Thanks!
