Patient's question:
My little girl is 4 years old. At first, she felt a sore throat when talking and noticed that her cough seemed to be more severe as well. Additionally, she had a slight fever and seemed lacking in energy. I'd like to ask: What dietary precautions should be taken if the child has tonsillitis and low-grade fever?Doctor's answer:
tonsillitis is one of the more common diseases currently, requiring timely treatment. during treatment, it is important to feed the child some vegetables and fruits. vegetables and fruits are relatively rich in nutrients, which can effectively help improve the child's immunity. for fruits, it is recommended to choose pear, apple, etc. for vegetables, options like spinach, cabbage, and tomato are all good choices. you can choose based on the child's preferences. in daily diet, it is also important to pay attention to easy digestion and easy swallowing. therefore, it is recommended to prioritize porridge and noodle dishes. the noodles must be cooked to be very soft. foods like beef, mutton, poultry eggs, and seafood should be avoided during this stage. of course, this also includes spicy and irritating dishes like hot pot and spicy stew. parents should also help their children develop good eating habits, ensuring cleanliness and health, avoiding pickiness and partiality in food choices.
