Patient's question:
Boy, he is already 1 year old. At first, he felt sore when he drank water, and noticed that his cough was quite severe. Also, it seemed like his low-grade fever hadn't gone away. Please ask: what dietary restrictions should there be if the child has tonsillitis and fever?Doctor's answer:
During the treatment for tonsillitis in children, the daily diet should primarily consist of light foods. You can eat more vegetables and fruits, as they are rich in vitamins, which help boost immunity. For example, apples, kiwis, and other fruits have the additional benefits of regulating Qi, resolving phlegm, generating fluids, and moisturizing the lungs, which are very helpful for improving the quality of tonsillitis treatment.The daily diet should also focus on easy-to-digest and easy-to-swallow foods. Therefore, it is recommended to consume porridge and noodles, which should be cooked soft and fine. At the same time, it is important to avoid foods that may exacerbate symptoms, such as beef, lamb, dog meat, and seafood. These can worsen the condition.
Lastly, parents should help their children develop good habits, maintain a regular routine, engage in appropriate exercise, and improve their immunity. This can significantly reduce the likelihood of illness.
