Patient's question:
Male baby, just turned 6 months old. At first, he had a slight sore throat, and I noticed it accompanied by mild coughing. Additionally, he now has a high fever that won't go down. Could you please ask: What should a child with tonsillitis eat during treatment when they have no appetite?Doctor's answer:
During the treatment of tonsillitis, the daily diet should primarily focus on light foods. It is recommended to consume more vegetables and fruits, as many fruits have the effects of clearing heat and detoxifying, and are rich in vitamins, which can help improve immunity and resist diseases. For fruits, pears, apples, etc., are suggested. As for vegetables, green vegetables, Chinese cabbage, tomatoes, etc., are all good choices. You can select based on the child's preferences. The daily diet should be easily digestible, such as congee, noodles, etc. At the same time, parents should pay attention not to let the child eat spicy or irritating foods, such as greasy foods. Finally, parents should help the child develop good habits, maintain a regular schedule, engage in appropriate exercise, and improve immunity, which can greatly reduce the incidence of diseases.
