Patient's question:
My little girl, who is 2 years old, initially had a slight sore throat. She started coughing more severely, and now she has a high fever that won't go down. Could you please advise on dietary precautions for her with tonsillitis and low-grade fever?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, it is very necessary to seek medical attention immediately. At the same time, parents should also pay attention to giving their children more vegetables and fruits. This is mainly because vegetables and fruits are not only light but also rich in various vitamins and trace elements that the human body needs, which can obviously help children resist the disease. For example, the peels of jujubes are rich in vitamin C, which has a good anti-inflammatory effect. It is also possible to choose some easily digestible foods for the child, such as thin porridge or well-cooked noodles. While maintaining a light diet, it is also important to eat less allergenic foods, such as poultry eggs, donkey meat, beef, and lamb. Parents should also help their children develop good eating habits, ensuring hygiene and health, without pickiness or partiality.
