Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 2 years old, just started, saying it hurts to swallow things, found, accompanied by mild cough, and now has high fever that won't go down. Please ask: What are the dietary principles for tonsillitis with fever in children?Doctor's answer:
If a child has tonsillitis, it is important to maintain a light diet first. Vegetables and fruits should be the main components of their meals. The reason for encouraging children to eat more vegetables and fruits is primarily to supplement vitamins and trace elements, which can help boost their immune system and aid in a faster recovery. Options include pears, watermelons, kumquats, and pomegranates. For vegetables, green leafy greens and tomatoes are excellent choices. In daily meals, it is best to focus on light, easily digestible, and easy-to-swallow foods, such as porridge or noodles. While maintaining a light diet, it is also important to avoid trigger foods, such as poultry, eggs, donkey meat, and beef or lamb. Parents should also help their children develop good eating habits, ensuring cleanliness and health, avoiding picky or selective eating habits.
