Patient's question:
Boy baby, 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 his low fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: What are the dietary restrictions for a child with tonsillitis and low fever?Doctor's answer:
During the treatment for tonsillitis, the child's daily diet should primarily be light. It is recommended to consume more vegetables and fruits, as they are not only light but also rich in various vitamins and trace elements needed by the body, which can help the child resist the disease. For example, pears are cooling in nature and have the effects of reducing fever, soothing the throat, expelling phlegm, and relieving pain, thereby alleviating symptoms of acute tonsillitis such as throat discomfort. The daily diet should consist of easily digestible foods, such as congee and noodles. Additionally, spicy and irritating foods like hot pot and spicy noodle soup, as well as allergenic foods like beef, lamb, and seafood, should be avoided. Parents should also help their children develop good eating habits, ensuring cleanliness and health, and avoiding picky or biased eating habits.
