Patient's question:
My little girl, who is one year old this year, initially felt a sore throat when talking and noticed her voice was a bit hoarse. Additionally, she had a slight fever and wasn't very energetic. I would like to ask: If the child has tonsillitis and keeps running a fever, what foods can she eat?Doctor's answer:
While treating children's tonsillitis, dietary considerations are also crucial. Generally, it is recommended to give children more fruits and vegetables, as they are rich in vitamins and trace elements, and relatively light, which is very beneficial for the treatment of the disease. For fruits, we usually suggest choosing those that are neutral in nature and rich in vitamins, such as honeysuckle and kiwifruit. It is also important to choose foods that are easy to swallow and digest, such as congee. However, it is advisable to avoid spicy and irritating foods, as well as some foods that may exacerbate the condition during this period. Diet plays a key role in treating tonsillitis, so it must be paid close attention to.
