Patient's question:
My little girl is 2 years old. At first, she said she had pain when swallowing, and it was found that her cough seemed to be more severe as well. Additionally, she now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: what dietary precautions should be taken when a child has tonsillitis and constantly has a fever?Doctor's answer:
If your child has tonsillitis, it is recommended that mothers take them to seek medical treatment promptly. In terms of diet, vegetables and fruits are relatively light and are a good choice during the treatment period. This is mainly because vegetables and fruits are not only light but also rich in various vitamins and trace elements needed by the human body, which can obviously help children resist the disease. For fruits, it is advisable to choose pears, apples, etc., and for vegetables, options like green vegetables, cabbage, tomatoes, etc., are excellent. You can choose based on your child's preferences. Daily meals should consist of easily digestible foods, such as congee, noodles, etc. At the same time, never feed your child any "allergic foods" (fā wù), such as seafood or dog meat, as these are detrimental to the condition. While maintaining a proper diet, it is also important to avoid picky or biased eating habits to prevent nutritional deficiencies and weakened immunity, which could lead to recurrence.
