Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 3 years old, just started, saying it hurts to swallow things, noticed that coughing seems to be more severe as well, and has had a slight fever for a while. Please ask: What are the dietary restrictions for children with tonsillitis and low-grade fever?Doctor's answer:
While treating pediatric tonsillitis, dietary management also requires sufficient attention. It is generally recommended to give children more fruits and vegetables, as they are rich in vitamins and trace elements and are relatively light in flavor, which is very helpful for treating the disease. Examples include pears, apples, kumquats, and kiwis, all of which are good choices. In terms of dietary selection, it is best to choose easily digestible foods, such as congee and noodles. While maintaining a light diet, it is also important to avoid certain foods that may exacerbate the condition, such as poultry eggs, donkey meat, and beef or lamb. In addition to proper diet, it is also important to avoid picky eating to prevent nutritional deficiencies and weakened immunity, which could lead to recurrence.
