Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 1 year old, just started, saying her throat hurts, noticed it, accompanied by mild coughing. Also, she now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: What dietary precautions should be taken for children with tonsillitis and fever?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that parents take their children with tonsillitis to seek treatment promptly. In terms of diet, vegetables and fruits are relatively light and are a good choice for children during their recovery period. In addition to being light and non-irritating, these foods are also rich in nutrients, which help boost the immune system and fight off illness. For example, apples, kiwis, and other fruits have the effects of regulating qi, resolving phlegm, nourishing fluids, and moistening the lungs, which are very beneficial for treating tonsillitis. Daily diet should also focus on easy digestion and easy swallowing, so it is recommended to consume porridge and noodle dishes. Noodles should be cooked to be very soft. It is also advised to drink plenty of water. Additionally, it is recommended to eat less or avoid foods that are considered "heating" or "irritating," such as mutton and dog meat. In daily life, it is important to help children develop good habits. In addition to a healthy diet, they should also maintain a regular sleep schedule (going to bed early and waking up early) and engage in appropriate exercise.
