Patient's question:
Girl baby, only 8 months old, just starting, feels sore throat even when drinking water, found that coughing is quite severe, also a bit feverish and lacking energy. 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 to seek medical treatment promptly if they have tonsillitis. In terms of diet, vegetables and fruits are a good choice during the treatment period as they are light and rich in vitamins, which can help boost the immune system and alleviate symptoms. We generally suggest choosing fruits that are neutral in nature and rich in vitamins, such as kumquats or kiwis. It is also important to choose easily digestible foods for children, such as porridge, well-cooked noodles, or flatbread. Additionally, it is advisable to drink plenty of plain water and avoid foods that may exacerbate the condition, such as beef, mutton, or dog meat. Seafood should also be consumed in moderation or avoided. In daily life, it is important to help children develop good habits, including a healthy diet, going to bed early and waking up early, and engaging in appropriate exercise.
