Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 1 year old. At first, she said it hurts when swallowing, noticed that, coughing is quite severe, and she has had a slightly feverish condition. Please ask: If the child has tonsillitis and fever, what foods can she eat?Doctor's answer:
During the treatment of tonsillitis in children, it is recommended to follow a light diet. Children can be given more vegetables and fruits. The reason for encouraging children to eat more vegetables and fruits is mainly to supplement vitamins and trace elements, which helps boost immunity and promotes faster recovery. Fruits such as pears, kiwis, and honey oranges can be chosen, as they also have the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying. For staple foods, it is advisable to opt for softer and finer options, such as congee or noodles, to avoid hindering swallowing or worsening constipation. Additionally, it is important to drink plenty of plain water. However, certain foods that may exacerbate the condition, such as seafood and dog meat, should be avoided. Lastly, it is also necessary to help children develop good dietary habits.
