Patient's question:
Boy, who is already 5 years old, started to feel a sore throat when speaking, noticed it, accompanied by mild coughing, and also had a slight fever and no energy. Please ask: What dietary restrictions should a child with tonsillitis and low-grade fever have?Doctor's answer:
If a child contracts tonsillitis, it is very necessary to seek medical attention immediately. At the same time, parents should also pay attention to giving their child more vegetables and fruits. In addition to being light and non-irritating, these foods are also rich in nutrients, which helps in resisting the disease. However, when choosing fruits, it is important to avoid those that are too cold and cooling. You can opt for some neutral-natured fruits, such as apples or kiwis. Daily diet should also be easy to digest and swallow, so it is recommended to focus on foods like porridge and noodles. The noodles must be cooked to be soft and smooth. Meanwhile, parents should also pay attention not to let their child eat stimulating, spicy, or greasy foods. Lastly, it is also important to help the child develop good eating habits.
