Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned 8 months old. At first, when speaking, he felt a sore throat. He noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult, and he also had a low fever. Please ask: What is the reasonable diet for a child with tonsillitis and low fever?Doctor's answer:
Children with tonsillitis are advised to be taken to the doctor promptly by their mothers. In terms of diet, vegetables and fruits are relatively light and are a good choice during the treatment period. Many fruits have the effects of clearing heat and detoxifying, and they are rich in vitamins, which can help improve immunity and resist diseases. For example, pears are cool in nature and have the functions of reducing fever, soothing the throat, expelling phlegm, and relieving pain. They can alleviate the symptoms of acute tonsillitis and throat discomfort. When choosing food, it is best to opt for easily digestible options, such as congee or noodles, which are excellent choices. Additionally, foods that are (stimulating) and spicy, such as hot pot or spicy rice noodles, should not be given to children. Similarly, allergenic foods like beef, lamb, and seafood should also be avoided. Pediatric tonsillitis can lead to complications, which are very harmful to a child's health. Therefore, parents must help their children receive proper treatment.
