Patient's question:
My little girl, she's one year old. At first, she had a little sore throat. I noticed that swallowing seems a bit difficult, and it seems like her low fever hasn't gone away. Could you please tell me: what foods can children with tonsillitis and low fever eat?Doctor's answer:
If a child has tonsillitis, the diet should first be kept light. Vegetables and fruits should be the main components, as they are rich in vitamins, which help boost the immune system. For example, pears are cooling in nature and have the effects of reducing fever, soothing the throat, expelling phlegm, and relieving pain. They can alleviate the symptoms of acute tonsillitis, such as throat discomfort. In daily meals, easily digestible foods like porridge and noodles should be chosen. Additionally, spicy and irritating foods like hot pot and spicy noodles, as well as "trigger foods" like beef, lamb, and seafood, should not be given to the child. Pediatric tonsillitis can lead to complications, which are very harmful to the child's health. Therefore, parents must help their children receive proper treatment.
