Patient's question:
Girl baby, only 6 months old. At first, she had a little pain in her throat, and found that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. Moreover, she now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: what should be paid attention to in diet if the child has tonsillitis and a fever?Doctor's answer:
If a child suffers from tonsillitis, in addition to prompt treatment, attention should also be paid to diet. First, it's advisable to consume more fresh fruits and vegetables, as many fruits have the effects of clearing heat and detoxifying, and are rich in vitamins, which can help boost immunity and resist diseases. For example, tangerine peels are rich in vitamin C, which has excellent anti-inflammatory effects. In terms of dietary choices, it's best to opt for easily digestible foods, such as congee and noodles, which are both good options. Additionally, it's important to drink plenty of plain water and avoid consuming "heating" foods like beef, lamb, and dog meat. Seafood should also be eaten sparingly or avoided. Lastly, it's essential to help the child develop good eating habits.
