Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned 6 months old. At first, he felt a sore throat when talking, and discovered that his voice was a bit hoarse when speaking. Moreover, he has had a low fever for a long time. Please ask: What foods can a child with tonsillitis and low fever eat?Doctor's answer:
If a child develops tonsillitis, the diet should first be kept light, with vegetables and fruits as the main components. Vegetables and fruits are rich in vitamins, which can help boost the immune system. For example, apples and kiwis also have the effects of regulating qi, resolving phlegm, generating fluids, and moistening the lungs, which are very beneficial for treating tonsillitis. When choosing food, it's best to opt for easily digestible options, such as congee and noodles. Foods like beef, lamb, poultry, eggs, and seafood, which are considered "heating" or "irritating" foods, should be avoided during this time. Of course, spicy and pungent foods like hot pot and spicy stews should also be avoided. Additionally, it's important to help children overcome picky eating and poor appetite habits to ensure they receive comprehensive nutrition.
