Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 6 months old. At first, he had a slightly sore throat, noticed it, accompanied by mild coughing. At the same time, it seems like the low fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: What are the dietary restrictions for tonsillitis and low fever in children?Doctor's answer:
During the child's treatment for tonsillitis, the daily diet should primarily be light. The child can eat more vegetables and fruits, mainly because vegetables and fruits 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. For example, pears are cool in nature and have the effects of reducing fever, soothing the throat, expelling phlegm, and relieving pain, which can alleviate the symptoms of acute tonsillitis in the throat and neck. The daily diet should consist of easily digestible foods, such as congee and noodles. Additionally, spicy and irritating foods, such as spicy hot pot and hot pot, as well as allergenic foods, like beef, lamb, and seafood, should not be given to the child. Parents should also help the child develop good eating habits, ensuring cleanliness and health, and avoiding picky or biased eating habits.
