Patient's question:
Girl baby, only one month old. At first, she felt a sore throat when speaking, and discovered that her cough was quite severe. Additionally, she now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: What dietary precautions should be taken for children with tonsillitis and fever?Doctor's answer:
If a child has tonsillitis, the diet should first be kept light. It is advisable to focus on vegetables and fruits. These foods are not only rich in vitamins and trace elements, which can help boost immunity, but they are also relatively light. Examples include apples, kiwis, etc., which also have the functions of regulating Qi, resolving phlegm, generating body fluids, and moisturizing the lungs, which are very beneficial for treating tonsillitis. Choose foods that are easy to swallow and digest, such as congee, which is a good option. Additionally, avoid (stimulating) and spicy foods, such as hot pot or spicy noodle soup, as well as (trigger foods), like beef, mutton, seafood, etc. Parents should also help their children develop good eating habits, ensuring cleanliness and health, avoiding pickiness and partiality in food choices.
