Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 2 months old, just starting, says his throat hurts even when drinking water, found that his cough is quite severe, accompanied by low fever. Please ask: what foods can children with tonsillitis and high fever eat?Doctor's answer:
For the disease of tonsillitis in children, it is recommended to start with daily diet adjustments. Encourage the child to eat more fresh vegetables and fruits. The nutritional content in vegetables and fruits is rich, which can help boost the child's immunity and thus aid in the healing of the tonsils. For fruits, pears and apples are good choices, while for vegetables, green vegetables, cabbage, and tomatoes are excellent options. You can select based on the child's preferences. Additionally, you can offer easily digestible foods such as thin porridge or well-cooked noodles. At the same time, avoid giving the child "trigger foods" like seafood or dog meat, as these are detrimental to the condition. While maintaining a proper diet, it is also important not to be picky or biased in eating to prevent nutritional deficiencies and weakened resistance, which could lead to recurrence.
