Patient's question:
Girl baby, only 9 months old. At first, she had a slightly sore throat. She noticed it, coughed quite severely, and also had a slight fever and no energy. Please ask: What are the dietary precautions for children with tonsillitis and fever?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, which is very helpful for the treatment of the disease. For fruits, it is recommended to choose pears, apples, etc. For vegetables, green vegetables, cabbage, tomatoes, etc., are all good options. You can choose based on the child's preferences. In terms of other dietary aspects, it is advisable to choose foods that are soft and easy to digest, such as well-cooked noodles and porridge. It is recommended to drink plenty of water. Additionally, it is best to eat less or avoid foods that are considered "heating" (fā wù), such as mutton and dog meat. Children with tonsillitis may experience complications, which can be very harmful to their health. Therefore, parents must help their children receive proper treatment.
