Patient's question:
Baby girl, only 7 months old, just starting to complain of a sore throat. It was found that swallowing seems a bit difficult. Additionally, she has a low fever. Please ask: What are the dietary precautions for children with tonsillitis and fever?Doctor's answer:
Children's tonsils are very prone to inflammation. If they occur, it is important to seek medical attention as soon as possible. In terms of diet, it is recommended to focus on lighter foods such as vegetables and fruits. This is because vegetables and fruits are rich in vitamins, which can help boost the immune system and alleviate symptoms. For fruits, pears and apples are good choices, while for vegetables, green vegetables, cabbage, and tomatoes are excellent options. You can choose based on your child's preferences. Daily meals should consist of easily digestible foods, such as porridge and noodles. During this period, avoid giving your child foods that are considered "heating" or "irritating," such as beef, lamb, poultry, eggs, and seafood. This also includes spicy and irritating foods like hot pot and spicy noodles. In daily life, it is also important to help your child develop good habits. In addition to a healthy diet, they should also maintain a regular sleep schedule (going to bed early and waking up early) and engage in appropriate exercise.
