Patient's question:
My child is a male baby, 3 years old. At first, he felt pain even when drinking water through his throat. It was noticed that his cough was quite severe, and he also had a low fever. Could you please tell me: What are the dietary precautions for a child with tonsillitis and high fever?Doctor's answer:
During the treatment of tonsillitis, it is important to reasonably arrange the child's diet. First, the child can be encouraged to eat more vegetables and fruits. The nutritional content in vegetables and fruits is relatively rich, which can help improve the child's immunity and thus aid in the healing of the tonsils. However, when choosing fruits, it is important to avoid those that are overly cold in nature. Instead, opt for some neutral ones, such as apples and kiwis. In daily meals, choose easily digestible foods, such as porridge and noodles. At the same time, it is also important to try to avoid giving the child "trigger foods," such as beef, lamb, dog meat, and seafood, as these can potentially worsen symptoms. Diet is also very crucial for the treatment of tonsillitis, so pay close attention.
