Patient's question:
My male baby is 1 year old. At first, when he started talking, he felt a sore throat. He noticed it, accompanied by mild coughing. At the same time, he has had a slight fever. Please ask: How should children with tonsillitis and fever have a reasonable diet?Doctor's answer:
During the treatment of tonsillitis, it is necessary to arrange a reasonable diet for the child. First, the child should be encouraged to eat more vegetables and fruits. Fruits and vegetables are rich in vitamins and trace elements, and they are relatively light in flavor, which is very helpful for the treatment of the disease. For example, pears are cool in nature and have the effects of reducing fever, soothing the throat, expelling phlegm, and relieving pain. They can alleviate the symptoms of acute tonsillitis, such as throat discomfort. For staple foods, it is best to choose soft and smooth options, such as porridge or noodles, to avoid affecting swallowing or causing constipation that could worsen the condition. Additionally, it is important to drink plenty of plain water and eat less "heating" foods like beef, lamb, and dog meat. Seafood should also be consumed in moderation or avoided. In daily life, it is also important to help the child develop good habits. In addition to a healthy diet, they should maintain a regular sleep schedule (going to bed early and waking up early) and engage in appropriate exercise.
