Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 9 months old, just started, said it hurts when swallowing things, noticed that, coughing seems to be quite severe as well. Also, he's had a slight fever for a while. Please ask: What should be noted in diet for children with tonsillitis and low-grade 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. These foods are not only rich in vitamins and trace elements, which can help boost the immune system, but they are also relatively light in flavor. However, when choosing fruits, it is important to avoid those that are too cold in nature. Opt for fruits that are neutral in nature, such as apples or kiwis. For staple foods, it is best to choose softer and finer options, such as porridge or noodles, to avoid difficulties in swallowing or worsening constipation. While maintaining a light diet, it is also important to limit the consumption of "trigger foods," such as poultry, eggs, donkey meat, beef, and lamb. Additionally, it is crucial to help children overcome picky eating and poor appetite habits to ensure comprehensive nutrient absorption.
