Patient's question:
My little girl is 2 years old. At first, she said she had pain when swallowing something, and I noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. She has also had a slight fever for a while. Could you please tell me: what are the dietary restrictions for children with tonsillitis and fever?Doctor's answer:
For the disease of tonsillitis in children, it is recommended to start with daily diet adjustments. Encourage children to eat more fresh vegetables and fruits. In addition to being light and non-irritating, these foods are also rich in nutrients, which helps in resisting the disease. For example, the peels of kumquats are rich in vitamin C, which has a good anti-inflammatory effect. It is also advisable to choose easily digestible foods, such as porridge or well-cooked noodles, which are suitable for children during treatment. Additionally, avoid spicy and irritating foods like hot pot or spicy noodles, as well as "trigger foods" such as beef, lamb, and seafood. Finally, parents should help children develop good habits, maintain a regular schedule, engage in appropriate exercise, and boost their immunity, which can significantly reduce the incidence of the disease.
