Patient's question:
My little girl is 2 years old. At first, she said her throat hurts, and it turns out her cough is also quite severe. Additionally, she now has a high fever that won't go down. Could you please advise: what should be paid attention to in her diet if her tonsils are inflamed and she is constantly feverish?Doctor's answer:
During the treatment of tonsillitis in children, it is recommended to have a light diet. You can give the child more vegetables and fruits. In addition to being light and non-irritating, these foods are also rich in nutrients, which helps in resisting diseases. Examples include pears, apples, kumquats, and kiwis, all of which are good choices. You should choose foods that are easy to swallow and digest, such as porridge. At the same time, parents should also pay attention not to let the child eat stimulating, spicy foods, or sweets. Additionally, it is important to help the child overcome picky eating and poor appetite habits to ensure that nutrients are fully absorbed.
