Patient's question:
Girl baby, only 6 months old, just starting, saying it hurts to swallow things, found that accompanied by mild cough, and it seems like the low fever hasn't gone away, please ask: When children have tonsillitis and fever, what dietary precautions should be noted.Doctor's answer:
If a child has tonsillitis, the diet should first be kept light. Vegetables and fruits should be the main components. These foods are not only rich in vitamins and trace elements, which can help boost immunity, but they are also relatively light. However, when choosing fruits, it is important to avoid those that are too cold or cooling in nature. Opt for those that are neutral in properties, such as apples or kiwis. The food should be easy to swallow and digest, such as congee, which is a good choice. However, it is important to note that spicy, irritating foods, as well as certain "trigger foods" (foods that may exacerbate symptoms), should not be given to the child during this period. Finally, parents should help their children develop good habits, maintain a regular schedule, engage in appropriate exercise, and improve their immunity. This can significantly reduce the incidence of illness.
