Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 9 months old. At first, he said his throat hurts, noticed that, accompanied by mild coughing, and now he has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: What dietary precautions should be taken 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, as many fruits have the effects of clearing heat and detoxifying, and are rich in vitamins, which can help boost immunity and resist diseases. Options include pears, kiwis, and honeysuckle, all of which also have detoxifying properties. In daily meals, it should focus on light, easy-to-digest, and easy-to-swallow foods, such as porridge and noodles, which are excellent choices. Additionally, spicy and irritating foods like hot pot and spicy noodles, as well as "trigger foods" like beef, lamb, and seafood, should be avoided. While maintaining a proper diet, it is also important not to be picky or biased in eating to prevent nutritional deficiencies and weakened immunity, which could lead to recurrence.
