Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 5 months old, just starting, says his throat hurts even when drinking water, noticed that his voice is a bit hoarse when speaking, and it seems like his low fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: What are the dietary taboos for children with tonsillitis and low fever?Doctor's answer:
It is very important to help children recover from tonsillitis and resume eating as soon as possible. First, they should eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, as many fruits have the effects of clearing heat and detoxifying, and are rich in vitamins, which can help boost immunity and resist diseases. For example, pears are cool in nature and have the functions of reducing fever, soothing the throat, expelling phlegm, and relieving pain, which can alleviate the symptoms of acute tonsillitis in the throat and pharynx. For staple foods, it is best to choose softer options, such as porridge or noodles, to avoid difficulties in swallowing or worsening constipation. Additionally, it is important to drink plenty of plain water and eat less "heating" foods like beef, lamb, and dog meat. Seafood is also best consumed in moderation or avoided. Diet is very important for the treatment of tonsillitis, so pay close attention.
