Patient's question:

My child is a boy, 1 year old. At first, he felt pain in his throat even when drinking water, accompanied by mild coughing. Now, he has high fever that won't go down. Could you please tell me: What are the dietary restrictions for children with tonsillitis and no appetite?

Doctor's answer:

Your child has tonsillitis, so it is recommended that mothers take them to seek treatment in a timely manner. In terms of diet, vegetables and fruits are relatively light and are a good choice during the treatment period. Additionally, vegetables and fruits are rich in vitamins, which can help boost immunity. When it comes to fruits, it is advisable to choose pear, apple, etc. For vegetables, green vegetables, cabbage, tomatoes, etc., are all great options. You can choose based on your child's preferences. In daily meals, it is also important to focus on easily digestible and swallowable foods, so it is recommended to have porridge and noodle-based foods as the main diet. Noodles must be cooked until they are very soft. At the same time, parents should also pay attention not to let their children eat and spicy foods, as well as services. Finally, parents should help their children develop good habits, maintain a regular schedule, engage in appropriate exercise, and improve their immunity, which can greatly reduce the incidence of diseases.
