Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 4 years old, just starting, a little sore throat, noticed, swallowing seems a bit difficult, and a bit feverish and lacking energy, please ask: what dietary precautions should be taken for tonsillitis and high fever in children.Doctor's answer:
During the treatment of tonsillitis, diet is also a very important aspect. It is recommended that mothers give their children more vegetables and fruits, as many fruits have the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying, and are rich in vitamins, which can help improve immunity and resist diseases. Fruits like pears and apples have the effects of clearing heat and reducing inflammation and can be eaten more. For staple foods, it is best to choose softer options, such as porridge and noodles, to avoid difficulties in swallowing or worsening constipation and the condition. During this period, foods like beef, lamb, poultry, eggs, and seafood, which are considered "heat-generating" or "irritating," should not be given to children. This also includes spicy and irritating foods like hot pot and spicy noodles. While maintaining a proper diet, it is important to avoid picky or biased eating habits to prevent nutritional deficiencies and weakened resistance, which could lead to recurrence.
