Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned 6 months old, just starting out. He says his throat hurts even when drinking water, and it seems a bit difficult to swallow. At the same time, he has had a low fever for a while. Please ask: How should young children with tonsillitis and low fever have a reasonable diet?Doctor's answer:
If a child has tonsillitis, the diet should first be kept light. Vegetables and fruits can be the main components, as these foods are not only rich in vitamins and trace elements but can also help boost immunity. They are relatively light as well. When it comes to fruits, it is generally recommended to choose those that are neutral in nature and rich in vitamins, such as kumquats or kiwis. In daily meals, the focus should be on light, easy-to-digest, and easy-to-swallow foods, such as congee or noodles, which are excellent choices. At the same time, it is crucial not to give the child any "trigger foods," such as seafood or dog meat, as these can be detrimental to the condition. Finally, it is also important to help the child develop good eating habits.
