Boy baby, just turned 7 months old, just started, said swallowing something hurts, noticed that swallowing seems a bit difficult. Also, has been a bit feverish. Please ask: what dietary precautions should be taken for children with tonsillitis and high fever.Doctor's answer:
If a child develops tonsillitis, it is very important to seek medical attention immediately. At the same time, parents should also pay attention to giving their child more vegetables and fruits. Fruits and vegetables are rich in vitamins and trace elements, and they are relatively light, which is very helpful for treating the illness. For example, apples, kiwis, etc., have the functions of regulating qi, resolving phlegm, moisturizing fluids, and moistening the lungs, which are very beneficial for the treatment of tonsillitis. In daily diet, easily digestible foods such as congee and noodles should be chosen. It is recommended to drink more water. Additionally, it is best to eat less or avoid foods that are considered "heat-inducing" such as mutton and dog meat. At the same time, it is also important to help the child correct their picky eating and poor appetite habits to ensure that nutrients are fully absorbed.
