Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned 8 months old. At first, he said his throat hurts, and it was found that his voice is a bit hoarse when he speaks. At the same time, he has had a slight fever all along. Please ask: what dietary precautions should be taken when a child has tonsillitis and fever?Doctor's answer:
Children's tonsils are very prone to inflammation. If they occur, it is important to seek medical attention and treatment as soon as possible. In terms of diet, it is recommended to focus on lighter foods such as vegetables and fruits. Fruits and vegetables are rich in vitamins and trace elements, and they are relatively light, which is very helpful for the treatment of the disease. For example, pears are cooling and have the effects of reducing fever, soothing the throat, resolving phlegm, and relieving pain. They can alleviate the symptoms of sore throat caused by acute tonsillitis. It is also advisable to choose easily digestible foods, such as porridge or well-cooked noodles, which are suitable for children during their recovery. Additionally, spicy and irritating foods like hot pot and spicy noodles, as well as "trigger foods" like beef, lamb, and seafood, should be avoided. Finally, it is important to help children develop good eating habits.
