Patient's question:
Baby girl, only 6 months old. At first, she had a slightly sore throat, noticed it, accompanied by mild coughing, and it seems like her low fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: what are the dietary restrictions for tonsillitis with high fever in children?Doctor's answer:
If a child has tonsillitis, the diet should first be kept light. Vegetables and fruits can be the main components, as they are rich in vitamins, which help boost immunity. For fruits, it's generally recommended to choose those that are neutral in nature and also rich in vitamins, such as honeysuckle or kiwifruit. Daily diet should also focus on easy-to-digest and swallow foods, so it's advisable to eat foods like porridge or noodle dishes. The noodles must be cooked until very soft. Additionally, avoid giving the child any "trigger foods," such as seafood or dog meat, as these are not beneficial for the condition. It's also important to help the child correct bad habits like picky eating and poor appetite, ensuring that nutrients are fully absorbed.
