What are the dietary restrictions for children with tonsillitis and high fever?

Patient's question:

Baby girl, only 2 months old. At first, she had a slightly sore throat. She noticed it, and her cough was quite severe. At the same time, she had a slight fever and wasn't very energetic. Please ask: What are the dietary restrictions for a child with tonsillitis and high fever?

Doctor's answer:

During the treatment of tonsillitis, diet is also a very important aspect. It is recommended that moms can give their children more vegetables and fruits. The nutritional content in vegetables and fruits is relatively rich, which can help improve children's immunity and thus aid in the healing of tonsils. For fruits, we generally suggest choosing those that are neutral in nature and rich in vitamins, such as kumquats or kiwis. In daily diet, easily digestible foods should be chosen, such as porridge or noodles. Foods like beef, lamb, poultry, eggs, and seafood, which are considered "heating" or "irritating," should be avoided during this period. Of course, this also includes spicy and pungent foods like hot pot or spicy noodles. Parents should also help their children develop good eating habits, ensuring cleanliness and health, avoiding picky eating and partiality.
