Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 8 years old. At first, she said even drinking water felt painful in her throat. It was discovered that it was accompanied by mild coughing, and also accompanied by low fever. Please ask: What are the dietary precautions for a child with tonsillitis and high fever?Doctor's answer:
If a child has tonsillitis, it is important to maintain a light diet first. Vegetables and fruits should be the main focus, as they are rich in nutrients that can help boost the child's immunity, which in turn aids in the healing of the tonsils. For fruits, it is generally recommended to choose those that are neutral in nature and rich in vitamins, such as honeysuckle and kiwi. In daily meals, it is also important to ensure easy digestibility and easy swallowing, so a diet of porridge and bread is advisable. The bread should be cooked to be very soft. Additionally, the child should drink plenty of plain water. However, foods that are considered "stimulating" or "allergic foods," such as seafood and dog meat, should be avoided. It is also important to help the child overcome picky eating and poor appetite habits to ensure that nutrients are fully absorbed.
