Patient's question:
Baby girl, only 3 months old, just starting to say she has pain when swallowing things. I noticed that her cough seems to be more severe as well. Additionally, she has a slight fever and doesn't seem very energetic. Please ask: What dietary precautions should be taken for a child with tonsillitis and high fever?Doctor's answer:
During the treatment of tonsillitis in children, it is recommended to follow a light diet. Encourage the child to eat more vegetables and fruits, as they are not only light but also rich in various vitamins and trace elements needed by the body, which can obviously help the child resist the disease. However, when choosing fruits, it is important to avoid those that are too cold or cooling in nature. Opt for some neutral ones, such as apples or kiwis. It is also advisable to choose easily digestible foods, such as porridge or well-cooked noodles, which are very suitable for children during treatment. At the same time, parents should pay attention not to let the child eat or greasy food. Finally, it is also important to help the child develop good eating habits, avoiding pickiness and partiality in food, so that they can obtain comprehensive nutrition and reduce the incidence of tonsillitis.
