Patient's question:
Female baby, only 7 months old, just starting, saying her throat hurts, noticed it, accompanied by mild cough, also slightly feverish and lacking energy. Please ask: How should the child's diet be managed if she has tonsillitis and a fever?Doctor's answer:
During the treatment of tonsillitis, it is necessary to arrange a reasonable diet for the child. First, the child should be encouraged to eat more vegetables and fruits, as they are rich in vitamins, which can help boost immunity, improve symptoms, and reduce inflammation. Fruits like pears and apples, for example, have properties that clear heat and reduce inflammation, so they should be consumed in larger amounts. In daily meals, it is important to focus on easily digestible and swallowable foods. Therefore, it is recommended to prioritize foods like porridge and noodles. The noodles should be cooked to be soft and fine. It is also advised to drink plenty of water. Additionally, the child should eat less or avoid foods that are considered "heating" or "irritating," such as mutton or dog meat. Finally, it is important to help the child develop good eating habits.
