Patient's question:
Baby girl, only 2 months old. At first, she had a slight sore throat, and she noticed that her cough was quite severe. She also had a slight fever and wasn't feeling well. Please ask: What are the dietary restrictions for tonsillitis and high fever in children?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 rich in nutritional elements, which can help improve children's immunity and thus aid in the healing of the 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, it is advisable to choose easily digestible foods, such as congee or noodles. Foods like beef, lamb, poultry, eggs, and seafood, which are considered "heating" or "irritating" foods, should be avoided during this period. Of course, this also includes spicy and pungent foods like hot pot or spicy soup. Parents should also help their children develop good eating habits, ensuring cleanliness and health, and avoiding pickiness or partiality in food choices.
