Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 4 years old, just starting. She says even drinking water feels painful in her throat, and she has noticed it accompanied by mild coughing. Additionally, she has a slight fever and lacks energy. Please ask: How should the child's diet be managed when they have 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. Vegetables and fruits are relatively rich in nutrients, which can help improve children's immunity. You can choose pears, watermelon, kumquats, and pomegranates, etc. For vegetables, green leafy vegetables and tomatoes are great options. For staple foods, it is best to choose soft and fine options, such as porridge and noodles, to avoid affecting swallowing or worsening constipation. During this period, avoid giving children foods that are considered "heating" such as beef, lamb, poultry eggs, and seafood. Of course, this also includes spicy and irritating foods like hot pot and spicy noodles. In daily life, it is also important to help children develop good habits. In addition to a healthy diet, they should also go to bed early, wake up early, and engage in appropriate exercise.
