Patient's question:
Female baby, only 2 months old. At first, she said that even drinking water made her throat hurt. She noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. At the same time, she had a slight fever and lacked energy. Please ask: What should infants and young children with tonsillitis and high fever avoid eating?Doctor's answer:
Children's tonsils are very prone to inflammation. Once they occur, early examination and treatment should be carried out. Regarding diet, it is recommended to focus on lighter foods such as vegetables and fruits. Vegetables and fruits are rich in vitamins, which help boost the immune system. Options include pears, kiwis, and tangerines, among others, which also have the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying. In daily meals, it should be light, easy to digest, and easy to swallow, such as congee and noodles, which are both excellent choices. It is advised to drink more water, and avoid or limit foods that are considered "heating" such as lamb and dog meat. Children's tonsillitis can lead to complications, which are very harmful to their health. Therefore, parents must help their children receive proper treatment.
