Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 6 months old. At first, he said it hurts when he swallows things. He was noticed that his voice is a bit hoarse when he speaks, and accompanied by low fever. Please ask: For children with tonsillitis and high fever, what foods can they eat more?Doctor's answer:
If a child has tonsillitis, the diet should first be kept light. Vegetables and fruits should be the main components, as they are rich in nutrients that can help boost the child's immunity and thus aid in the healing of the tonsils. Fruits like pears and apples are recommended, while vegetables such as spinach, cabbage, and tomatoes are also good choices. You can select based on the child's preferences. Daily meals should prioritize light, easy-to-digest, and easy-to-swallow foods, such as congee and noodles. It is also advised to drink plenty of water. Additionally, avoid or limit foods that are considered "heating" or irritating, such as mutton or dog meat. Lastly, it's important to help the child develop good eating habits.
