Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 9 months old, just starting, felt a sore throat when talking, discovered, coughing is quite severe, and has had a slight fever all along. Please ask: What dietary precautions should be taken for children with tonsillitis and fever?Doctor's answer:
If a child suffers from tonsillitis, it is very necessary to seek medical attention immediately. At the same time, parents should also pay attention to giving their children more vegetables and fruits. Vegetables and fruits are rich in vitamins, which help boost the immune system. Examples include pears, apples, kumquats, and kiwis, all of which are great choices. Daily diet should also focus on easy digestion and swallowing, so it is recommended to prioritize porridge and noodle dishes. Noodles must be cooked to be soft and smooth. Foods like beef, lamb, poultry, eggs, and seafood, which are considered "heating" foods, should be avoided during this period. Of course, this also includes spicy and irritating foods like hot pot and spicy soup. Finally, it is important to help children develop healthy eating habits, avoiding picky eating and food preferences, so that they can get comprehensive nutrition and reduce the incidence of tonsillitis.
