Patient's question:
Female baby, only 5 months old, just starting to say she has pain when swallowing, noticed that her voice is a bit hoarse when speaking, and it seems like her low fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: What can children with tonsillitis and high fever eat more of?Doctor's answer:
During the treatment of tonsillitis, it is necessary to arrange a proper diet for children. First, children should be encouraged to eat more vegetables and fruits, as many fruits have the effects of clearing heat and detoxifying, and are rich in vitamins, which can help boost immunity and resist diseases. For example, pears are cool in nature and have the effects of reducing fever, soothing the throat, resolving phlegm, and relieving pain, which can alleviate symptoms of acute tonsillitis such as throat discomfort. For staple foods, it is best to choose soft and smooth options, such as porridge or noodles, to avoid affecting swallowing or causing constipation that could worsen the condition. Additionally, children should drink plenty of plain water. However, foods that may exacerbate the condition, such as seafood or dog meat, should be avoided. It is also important to help children correct bad habits like picky eating and ensure that nutrients are fully absorbed.
