Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned two months old, just starting, says his throat hurts even when drinking water, noticed that his cough is quite severe, and he's a bit feverish and lacking energy. Please ask: what dietary precautions should be taken when the child has tonsillitis and fever?Doctor's answer:
It is very important to help your child recover from tonsillitis and resume a normal diet as soon as possible. First, they should eat more fresh vegetables and fruits. In addition to being light and non-irritating, these foods are also rich in nutrients, which can help strengthen the immune system and fight off illness. Examples include pears, apples, kumquats, and kiwis, all of which are great choices. When making dietary choices, it is best to opt for easily digestible foods, such as congee and noodles. While maintaining a light diet, it is also important to avoid certain foods that may exacerbate the condition, such as poultry, eggs, donkey meat, beef, and lamb. Finally, it is crucial to help your child develop healthy eating habits, avoiding pickiness and food preferences, to ensure a balanced diet and reduce the risk of tonsillitis.
