Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 8 months old, just starting, feels a sore throat when talking, found that accompanied by mild cough, and now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: What dietary restrictions are there for children with tonsillitis and fever?Doctor's answer:
It is essential to promptly treat tonsillitis in children. Additionally, their daily diet should include more 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. Examples include apples, kiwis, etc., which also have the functions of regulating qi, resolving phlegm, generating fluids, and moisturizing the lungs, providing significant benefits for tonsillitis. It is also important to choose easily digestible foods for children, such as porridge, well-cooked noodles, and noodle wrappers. However, it is necessary to avoid and spicy foods, as well as certain "trigger foods" during this period. Lastly, parents should help their children develop good habits, maintain a regular schedule, engage in appropriate exercise, and enhance immunity, which can greatly reduce the incidence of diseases.
