Patient's question:
Girl baby, only 6 months old, just started, said her throat hurts, found, cough is quite severe, and, accompanied by low fever, please ask: what dietary precautions should children with tonsillitis and high fever take.Doctor's answer:
If a child suffers from tonsillitis, in addition to prompt treatment, diet should also be given attention. First, they can eat more fresh fruits and vegetables. This is mainly because vegetables and fruits are not only light but also rich in various vitamins and trace elements needed by the body, which can obviously help children resist the disease. For example, pears are cool in nature and have the effects of reducing fever, soothing the throat, expelling phlegm, and relieving pain, which can alleviate the symptoms of acute tonsillitis in the throat. In daily diet, easily digestible foods such as congee and noodles should be chosen. Foods like beef, lamb, poultry eggs, and seafood, which are considered "heating" or "irritating" foods during this period, should not be given to children. Of course, this also includes spicy and irritating foods like hot pot and spicy soup. While maintaining a proper diet, it is also important not to be picky or biased in eating to avoid nutritional deficiencies and weakened immunity, which may lead to recurrence.
