Patient's question:
My little boy is 1 year old. At first, he had a slightly sore throat, and I noticed that his cough seemed quite severe too. He also had a slight fever all the time. Could you please tell me what foods are suitable for children with tonsillitis and fever?Doctor's answer:
If a child suffers from tonsillitis, in addition to prompt treatment, attention should also be paid to diet. First, they can eat more fresh fruits and vegetables. Fruits and vegetables are rich in vitamins and trace elements, and they are relatively light, so they are very helpful for treating the illness. When it comes to fruits, we generally recommend choosing those that are neutral in nature and rich in vitamins, such as kumquats or kiwis. It is also important to choose easily digestible foods for the child, such as porridge, well-cooked noodles, or noodle skins. Additionally, it is best to avoid foods that may aggravate the symptoms, such as beef, lamb, dog meat, and seafood. Finally, it is also important to help the child develop good eating habits.
