Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned 6 months old. At first, there was a bit of pain in the throat. Noticed that, coughing also seemed quite severe. Additionally, he has had a slight fever for a while. Please ask: What are the dietary principles for children with tonsillitis and fever?Doctor's answer:
During the treatment of tonsillitis, it is necessary to arrange a reasonable diet for the child. First, the child should be encouraged to eat more vegetables and fruits. The reason for this is mainly to supplement vitamins and trace elements, which helps to boost immunity and aid in recovery. However, when choosing fruits, it is important to avoid those that are too cold or cooling in nature. Opt for some neutral ones, such as apples or kiwis. For staple foods, it is best to choose softer and finer options, such as porridge or noodles, to avoid affecting swallowing or worsening constipation. Additionally, the child should drink plenty of plain water. However, foods that may exacerbate the condition, such as seafood or dog meat, should be avoided. Lastly, it is also important to help the child develop good eating habits.
