Patient's question:
Girl baby, only 7 months old. At first, she said it hurt when she swallowed things. Noticed that her voice was a bit hoarse when she spoke, and also had low fever. Please ask: What dietary precautions should be taken if the child has tonsillitis and fever?Doctor's answer:
Children with tonsillitis are advised to seek timely medical treatment. In terms of diet, vegetables and fruits are relatively light and are a good choice during the recovery period. The main reason for encouraging children to eat more vegetables and fruits is to replenish vitamins and trace elements, helping to boost their immunity and aid quick recovery. Fruits like pears, watermelon, kumquats, and pomegranates are good options. For vegetables, leafy greens and tomatoes are excellent choices. In terms of other dietary aspects, it is recommended to choose foods that are soft and easy to digest, such as well-cooked noodles and congee. It is also advisable to drink plenty of water. Additionally, avoid or limit the intake of "focal foods" like lamb or dog meat. Lastly, parents should help their children develop good habits, maintain a regular schedule, engage in appropriate exercise, and improve their immunity, which can significantly reduce the risk of illness.
