Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 8 years old. At first, she said her throat hurts. It was found that her voice is a bit hoarse when she speaks, and accompanied by low fever. Please ask: What should be noted in the diet if the child has tonsillitis and fever?Doctor's answer:
If a child has tonsillitis, in addition to prompt treatment, dietary attention should also be given. First, they can eat more fresh fruits and vegetables. Fruits and vegetables are rich in vitamins and trace elements, and they are relatively light in flavor, which is very beneficial for the treatment of the disease. For example, pears are cooling and have the effects of reducing fever, soothing the throat, resolving phlegm, and relieving pain. They can alleviate the symptoms of acute tonsillitis in the throat and neck. It is also important to choose easily digestible foods for the child, such as porridge, well-cooked noodles, and noodle wrappers. In addition, they should drink plenty of plain water. However, some "trigger foods" like seafood and dog meat should be avoided. Lastly, it is also important to help the child develop good eating habits, avoiding pickiness and selective eating, to ensure a balanced diet and reduce the incidence of tonsillitis.
