Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 2 years old. At first, she had a slightly sore throat, and it was found that she also had mild coughing. At the same time, she had a slight fever and was not energetic. Please ask: What are the dietary precautions for children with tonsillitis and low fever?Doctor's answer:
During the treatment for tonsillitis, the daily diet should primarily be light. It's recommended to consume more vegetables and fruits. The reason for encouraging children to eat more vegetables and fruits is mainly to supplement vitamins and trace elements, which helps boost immunity and facilitates a quicker recovery. For fruits, pears and apples are good choices, while vegetables like green vegetables, cabbage, and tomatoes are also excellent. You can select based on the child's preferences. It's also important to choose easily digestible foods, such as porridge, well-cooked noodles, or noodle wrappers. However, it's necessary to avoid and spicy foods, as well as certain "trigger foods" during this period. Lastly, it's important to help children develop healthy eating habits, avoiding pickiness and food aversions, to ensure a balanced diet and reduce the incidence of tonsillitis.
