Patient's question:
Baby boy, just turned one month old. At first, he said his throat was sore. I noticed that it was accompanied by mild coughing, and at the same time, he had a low fever. Please ask: What dietary precautions should be taken for children with tonsillitis and fever?Doctor's answer:
Children's tonsils are prone to inflammation. If they occur, they should be examined and treated as early as possible. For diet, it is recommended to focus on lighter options such as vegetables and fruits. Vegetables and fruits are rich in vitamins, which can help boost the immune system. Options include pears, watermelon, honeycrisp apples, and pomegranates. For vegetables, green leafy greens and tomatoes are excellent choices. When making dietary choices, it is best to opt for easily digestible foods, such as congee or noodle dishes. During this phase, avoid giving children foods that are considered "heating" or "stimulating," such as beef, lamb, poultry, eggs, and seafood. This also includes spicy and irritating foods like hot pot and spicy soup. Finally, it is important to help children develop healthy eating habits, avoiding picky eating and fussy eating, to ensure a balanced diet and reduce the incidence of tonsillitis.
