Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned 6 months old, just starting, says his throat hurts even when drinking water, found that swallowing seems a bit difficult, and accompanied by low fever. Please ask: What should children with tonsillitis and low fever not eat?Doctor's answer:
During the treatment of tonsillitis in children, it is recommended to follow a light diet. Encourage the child to eat more vegetables and fruits. The reason for eating more vegetables and fruits is mainly to supplement vitamins and trace elements, which helps to boost immunity and aid in recovery. For fruits, it is advisable to choose pears, apples, etc. As for vegetables, options like leafy greens, cabbage, and tomatoes are excellent. You can choose based on the child's preferences. In terms of other dietary aspects, it is recommended to opt for foods that are soft and easy to digest, such as well-cooked noodles and porridge, which are both good choices. While following a light diet, it is also important to avoid foods that may exacerbate the condition, such as poultry eggs, donkey meat, beef, and lamb. Lastly, parents should help their children develop good habits, maintain a regular schedule, engage in appropriate exercise, and enhance their immunity. This can significantly reduce the incidence of the disease.
