Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 4 years old, just started. She says even drinking water feels painful in her throat. It's been discovered that she also has a mild cough. Additionally, it seems like her low-grade fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: what dietary precautions should be taken if the child has tonsillitis and high fever.Doctor's answer:
During the treatment for tonsillitis in children, it is recommended to follow a light diet. You can offer your child more vegetables and fruits, as they contain rich nutritional elements that can help boost your child's immunity, thereby aiding in the healing of the tonsils. Examples of good choices include pears, apples, kumquats, and kiwis. You should choose foods that are easy to swallow and digest, such as porridge, which are excellent options. It is also advised to drink plenty of water. Additionally, you should limit or avoid foods that are considered "heating" or "stimulating," such as mutton and dog meat. At the same time, it is important to help your child correct bad habits like picky eating and poor appetite to ensure comprehensive nutritional absorption.
