Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 6 months old, just started, felt a sore throat when talking, found that accompanied by mild cough, and now has high fever that won't go down. Please ask: What dietary precautions should be taken for children with tonsillitis who have no appetite?Doctor's answer:
If a child suffers from tonsillitis, in addition to prompt treatment, dietary attention should also be given. First, they can eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, as vegetables and fruits are not only light but also rich in various vitamins and trace elements needed by the body, which can obviously help children resist the disease. For example, pears are cool in nature and have the effects of reducing fever, soothing the throat, expelling phlegm, and relieving pain, which can alleviate the symptoms of acute tonsillitis in the throat. In terms of diet, it is recommended to choose foods that are soft and easy to digest, such as well-cooked noodles and porridge, which are both good options. At the same time, it is important to avoid giving the child "trigger foods" as much as possible, such as beef, lamb, dog meat, and seafood, which may worsen the symptoms. Diet is also very important for the treatment of tonsillitis, so it must be paid attention to.
