Patient's question:
A baby girl, only 3 months old, just started complaining of a sore throat. I noticed that her voice is a bit hoarse when she speaks, and she also has a slight fever and lacks energy. Please ask: What dietary precautions should be taken for a child with tonsillitis and low-grade fever?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, it is very necessary to seek medical attention immediately. At the same time, parents should also pay attention to giving their child more vegetables and fruits. In addition to being light and non-irritating, these foods are also rich in nutrients, which helps to resist the disease. For example, apples, kiwis, etc., also have the effects of regulating qi, resolving phlegm, nourishing the fluid system, and moisturizing the lungs, which are very helpful for treating tonsillitis. In daily diet, it should be light, easy to digest, and easy to swallow, such as congee, noodles, etc., which are very good. While following a light diet, it is also necessary to eat less allergenic foods, such as poultry, eggs, donkey meat, beef, and mutton. Diet is also very important for the treatment of tonsillitis, and must be paid attention to.
