Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 1 year old. At first, he said it hurts when he swallows things, and I noticed his voice is a bit hoarse when he talks. Now, he has a high fever that won't go down. Could you please tell me what dietary precautions are needed if the child has tonsillitis and a low-grade fever?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. This is because vegetables and fruits are also rich in vitamins, which can help improve immunity and alleviate symptoms. When it comes to fruits, it is recommended to choose apples, pears, etc., while vegetables like spinach, cabbage, and tomatoes are also great options. You can choose based on your child's preferences. It is important to select foods that are easy to swallow and digest, such as porridge. Additionally, it is important to drink plenty of plain water and eat less "hot" foods like beef, lamb, and dog meat. Seafood should also be consumed less or avoided. For the treatment of tonsillitis, in addition to following the doctor's advice, parents should also help their child develop good dietary and lifestyle habits, which can help them recover sooner.
