Patient's question:
My male baby is 3 years old. At first, he said that even drinking water made his throat hurt. I noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. At the same time, he has had a slight fever for a while. Please ask: What can children with tonsillitis and fever eat more of?Doctor's answer:
During the treatment of tonsillitis, diet is also a very important aspect. It is recommended that moms can give their children more vegetables and fruits, as the nutritional content in vegetables and fruits is relatively rich, which can help improve the child's immunity and thus aid in the healing of the tonsils. For example, apples, kiwis, etc., also have the functions of regulating qi, resolving phlegm, generating fluids, and moisturizing the lungs, which are very helpful for the recovery of tonsillitis. In terms of dietary choices, it is best to opt for easily digestible foods, such as congee and noodles, which are excellent options. Foods like beef, lamb, poultry, eggs, and seafood, which are considered "trigger foods" during this period, should not be given to children. Of course, this also includes spicy and irritating foods like hot pot and spicy noodles. Finally, it is also important to help children develop good eating habits, avoiding picky eating and food preferences, so that they can obtain comprehensive nutrition and reduce the incidence of tonsillitis.
