Patient's question:
Baby girl, only 7 months old. At first, it was said that even drinking water made her throat hurt. She was noticed to have accompanied mild coughing. Additionally, she had been slightly feverish. Please ask: What should children with tonsillitis and fever not eat?Doctor's answer:
During the course of treating tonsillitis, the child's daily diet should primarily focus on light foods. They can consume more vegetables and fruits. In addition to being light and non-irritating, these types of foods are also rich in nutrients, which helps in resisting the disease. Fruits like pears and apples, for example, have the effects of clearing heat and reducing inflammation, so they should be eaten more. As for staple foods, it's best to choose softer and finer options, such as congee or noodles, to avoid difficulty swallowing or worsening constipation. It's also important to drink plenty of plain water. However, certain irritants, such as seafood and dog meat, should be avoided. While maintaining a proper diet, it's also essential not to be picky or biased about food, as this may lead to nutritional deficiencies and weakened immunity, potentially causing recurrence.
