Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned 8 months old. At first, he had a little sore throat, and then found that coughing seemed to be more severe as well. He had been running a low fever for a while. Question: What are the dietary restrictions for a child with tonsillitis and low fever?Doctor's answer:
Children with tonsillitis are advised to take their kids to seek treatment promptly. In terms of diet, vegetables and fruits are relatively light and are a good choice for children during their recovery period. The reason for encouraging kids to eat more vegetables and fruits is primarily to supplement vitamins and trace elements, which can help boost their immunity and aid in a faster recovery. For fruits, we generally recommend selecting those that are neutral in nature while being rich in vitamins, such as kumquats or kiwis. Daily meals should consist of easily digestible foods, such as congee or noodles. Additionally, spicy and pungent foods like hot pot or spicy noodle dishes, as well as "trigger foods" such as beef, lamb, or seafood, should be avoided. Parents should also help their children develop good eating habits, ensuring cleanliness and health while avoiding pickiness or preference for certain foods.
