When a child has tonsillitis and constantly has a fever, what dietary precautions should be taken?

Patient's question:

Boy baby, just turned 3 months old, just started, said it hurts when swallowing, found that coughing seems to be more severe as well, accompanied by low fever. Please ask: what dietary points should be noted for tonsillitis with fever in children?

Doctor's answer:

While treating children's tonsillitis, dietary care is also crucial and should be given sufficient attention. Generally, it is recommended to give children more fruits and vegetables, as they are rich in vitamins, which can help boost the immune system. Fruits like pears, kiwis, and honeydew melons are good choices, as they also have a cooling and detoxifying effect. Additionally, easily digestible foods such as thin porridge or well-cooked noodles can be offered. However, it is important to avoid (stimulating) and spicy foods, as well as certain allergenic foods during this period. In daily life, it is also essential to help children develop good habits. Besides a healthy diet, they should follow a regular sleep schedule (early to bed and early to rise) and engage in moderate exercise.
