Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned 8 months old, just starting, says his throat hurts even when drinking water, noticed that, cough seems to be quite severe as well, and now he has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: What dietary precautions should be taken when a child has tonsillitis and a fever?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that parents take their children with tonsillitis to seek treatment promptly. In terms of diet, vegetables and fruits are a good choice during the recovery period, as they are light and rich in various vitamins and trace elements needed by the body, which can help the child fight the illness. Fruits are generally advised to be selected for their mild properties and high vitamin content, such as honeysuckle and kiwifruit. It is also recommended to give the child easily digestible foods, such as thin porridge or well-cooked noodles. Additionally, spicy and pungent foods like hot pot and spicy noodles, as well as "trigger foods" like beef, lamb, and seafood, should be avoided. In addition to following the doctor's advice, parents should also help their children develop good dietary and lifestyle habits, which can aid in early recovery.
