Patient's question:
Male baby, just turned 5 months old, just started to say that swallowing things hurts. It was found that swallowing seems a bit difficult. Additionally, the fever has not subsided yet. Please ask: what are the dietary taboos for tonsillitis and fever in children?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 child more vegetables and fruits. The nutritional content in vegetables and fruits is relatively rich, which can help improve the child's immunity and thus aid in the healing of the tonsils. Options such as pears, kiwis, and honeydew melons can be chosen, as they also have the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying. In terms of diet, it is recommended to choose foods that are soft and easy to digest, such as well-cooked noodles and porridge, which are excellent choices. It is advised to drink plenty of water. Additionally, it is recommended to eat less or avoid foods that may exacerbate the condition, such as mutton or dog meat. In daily life, it is also important to help the child develop good habits. Besides healthy eating, getting enough sleep, going to bed early and waking up early, and exercising moderately are equally important.
