Patient's question:
Girl baby, only 6 months old, just starting, saying it hurts to swallow things, found that coughing is quite severe, at the same time, a little fever and no energy. Please ask: What dietary precautions should be taken when a child has tonsillitis and fever?Doctor's answer:
Wanting children to recover from tonsillitis and resume eating as soon as possible is very important. First, they should eat more fresh vegetables and fruits. This is mainly because vegetables and fruits are not only light but also rich in various vitamins and trace elements that the body needs. Clearly, they can help children fight off the disease. For example, the peels of mandarins are rich in vitamin C, which has a very good anti-inflammatory effect. As for staple foods, it's best to choose soft and fine options, such as congee or noodles, to avoid affecting swallowing or worsening constipation. Additionally, it's important to drink plenty of plain water and eat less "heating" foods like beef, lamb, and dog meat. Seafood is also best to eat less of or avoid altogether. Finally, it's crucial to help children develop good eating habits and avoid pickiness or food aversions. This ensures a balanced diet and reduces the risk of tonsillitis.
