Patient's question:
Girl baby, only 7 months old, just starting, feels a sore throat when talking. She also finds that coughing seems to be more serious. Moreover, she already has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: When the child has tonsillitis and keeps having a fever, what dietary precautions should be taken?Doctor's answer:
Children's tonsils are prone to inflammation. If they occur, it is important to seek medical attention as soon as possible. In terms of diet, it is recommended to focus on light foods such as vegetables and fruits. The nutritional content in vegetables and fruits can help boost a child's immunity, which in turn aids in the healing of tonsils. For example, pears are cooling in nature and have the effects of reducing fever, soothing the throat, expelling phlegm, and relieving pain, thereby alleviating symptoms of acute tonsillitis, such as throat discomfort. It is also advisable to choose easily digestible foods, such as porridge or well-cooked noodles, which are suitable for children during treatment. At the same time, parents should ensure that their children avoid spicy and greasy foods. Additionally, it is important to help children overcome picky eating and poor appetite habits to ensure comprehensive nutrient absorption.
