You should give fruits especially citric fruits is a good source of vitamin C and will help in building immunity. There isn't any restriction on any food as such unless she has a reaction to any of the food. Avoid giving cold food and water, keep her well hydrated at all times as even dehydration will cause increase in increase of temperature. You should do tepid sponging when the temperature increases above 100*F. Keep the room clean, dust regularly and mop the floors, keep allergens such as flowers away from home, clean the A/C filters, dust the fans and keep a humidifier in the room when she gets a cold.
