Children with tonsillitis and high fever: What dietary precautions should be taken?

Patient's question:

My little girl is 1 year old. At first, she had a slight sore throat, and I noticed her coughing quite severely. Additionally, she had low-grade fever. Could you please tell me: what are the dietary precautions for children with tonsillitis and high fever?

Doctor's answer:

During the treatment of tonsillitis, diet is also a very important aspect. It is recommended that mothers can give their children more vegetables and fruits. Vegetables and fruits are rich in a lot of vitamins, which helps boost immunity. However, when choosing fruits, it is important to avoid those that are too cold or cooling in nature. You can opt for some neutral in nature, such as apples or kiwis. It is also advised to choose some easily digestible foods, such as porridge or well-cooked noodles, which are suitable for children during treatment. At the same time, parents should also pay attention not to let their children eat spicy or irritating foods, as well as greasy foods. Additionally, it is important to help children correct their bad habits of picky eating and poor appetite to ensure comprehensive nutrient absorption.
