Patient's question:
My little girl, who is 3 years old this year, initially said that even drinking water felt painful in her throat. She also found that her cough seemed quite severe. Additionally, she now has a high fever that won’t go down. Please ask: What are the dietary restrictions for low-grade fever caused by tonsillitis in children?Doctor's answer:
Children's tonsils are prone to inflammation. If an infection occurs, it should be checked and treated as early as possible. In terms of diet, it is recommended to focus on light foods such as vegetables and fruits. Many fruits have the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying, and they are rich in vitamins, which can help improve immunity and resist diseases. For example, the peel of kumquats, which is rich in vitamin C, has a good anti-inflammatory effect. Daily meals should be chosen to be easily digestible, such as congee and noodles. At the same time, it is absolutely necessary not to feed children any stimulative foods, such as seafood or dog meat, as these are harmful to the condition. In the treatment of tonsillitis, in addition to cooperating with the doctor, parents should also help children develop good dietary and lifestyle habits, which can help them recover sooner.
