What should children pay attention to in their diet when they have tonsillitis and fever?

Patient's question:

Boy baby, just turned 7 months old. At first, he said his throat hurts, and I noticed that swallowing seems a bit difficult. Moreover, he now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: What should be noted in the diet for a child with tonsillitis and fever?

Doctor's answer:

It is very important to help children recover from tonsillitis and resume a normal diet as soon as possible. First, they should eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, as many fruits have the effects of clearing heat and detoxifying, and are rich in vitamins, which can help boost immunity and resist diseases. We generally recommend choosing fruits that are neutral in nature and rich in vitamins, such as kumquats or kiwis. Additionally, you can offer your child some easily digestible foods, such as thin porridge or well-cooked noodles. It is also advisable to drink plenty of water. Moreover, you should eat or avoid foods that are considered "heating" or "irritating," such as mutton or dog meat. While maintaining a proper diet, it is also important not to be picky or biased in eating habits to avoid nutritional deficiencies and weakened immunity, which could lead to recurrence.
