I'm feeling under the weather with a fever today. I've heard mixed things about eating guava when you're sick. Some say it might make my fever worse, while others say it won't really impact my health. I'm not sure what to believe. Can you help me figure out if munching on some guava is a good idea or if I should steer clear?
