Patient's question:
My child is a male baby, 2 years old. He started by saying his throat hurts, and I noticed that his voice is a bit hoarse when he speaks. Additionally, it seems like his low-grade fever hasn't gone away. Could you please advise on what to eat during the treatment for pediatric tonsillitis and high fever?Doctor's answer:
If a child suffers from tonsillitis, it is very necessary to seek medical attention immediately. At the same time, parents should also pay attention to giving their child more vegetables and fruits. These foods are not only rich in vitamins and trace elements, which can help boost immunity, but they are also relatively light and easy to digest. For example, apples, kiwis, etc., have the effects of regulating Qi, resolving phlegm, promoting fluidity, and moisturizing the lungs, which are very helpful for tonsillitis. In daily diet, easily digestible foods should be chosen, such as congee, noodles, etc. Additionally, spicy and pungent foods like hot pot, spicy soup, and stimulatory foods such as beef, lamb, and seafood should not be given to children. Children with tonsillitis may experience some complications, which can be very harmful to their health. Therefore, parents must ensure that their children receive proper treatment.
