Patient's question:
Baby girl, only 8 months old. At first, she had a slightly sore throat, and I noticed that her voice was a bit hoarse when she talked. She also had a low fever. Could you please tell me what a baby with tonsillitis and low fever should avoid eating?Doctor's answer:
Children with tonsillitis are advised to be taken to the doctor for timely treatment by their mothers. In terms of diet, vegetables and fruits are relatively light and are a good choice for children during the treatment period. Vegetables and fruits are relatively rich in nutrients, which can effectively help improve children's immunity. For example, pears, apples, kumquats, and kiwis are all good choices. Daily diet should also be easy to digest and swallow, so it is recommended to focus on porridge and noodle dishes. Noodles must be cooked soft and smooth. It is also recommended to drink more water. Additionally, you should eat less or avoid foods that are considered "heat-inducing" such as mutton and dog meat. Diet is also very important for the treatment of tonsillitis, so it must be noted.
