Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned 6 months old, just started, said his throat hurts, noticed, cough is quite severe, also, has had a low fever for a while, please ask: what are the dietary restrictions for tonsillitis and low fever in children?Doctor's answer:
Wanting children with tonsillitis to recover and resume eating as soon as possible is very important. First, they should eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, as vegetables and fruits are rich in vitamins, which can help boost immunity. For example, apples, kiwis, and other fruits have the effects of regulating qi, resolving phlegm, promoting fluid secretion, and moisturizing the lungs, which are very beneficial for tonsillitis recovery. When it comes to staple foods, it's best to choose softer and finer options, such as porridge or noodles, to avoid difficulty swallowing or worsening constipation. Foods like beef, lamb, poultry, eggs, and seafood, which are considered "trigger foods" during this period, should not be given to children. This also includes spicy and irritating foods like hot pot or spicy soup. Parents should also help children develop good eating habits, ensuring cleanliness and health, without being picky or having preferences.
