Patient's question:
My little girl, who is 3 years old, initially said that even drinking water made her throat hurt. She seemed to have difficulty swallowing, and at the same time, it appeared she had a low-grade fever that never went away. Could you please tell me: what dietary restrictions should children have when they have tonsillitis and fever?Doctor's answer:
tonsillitis is one of the more common diseases at present, requiring timely treatment. while being treated, it is important to feed the child some vegetables and fruits. this is because vegetables and fruits are also rich in vitamins, which can help improve immunity and alleviate symptoms. fruits like pears and apples, for example, have the effects of clearing heat and reducing inflammation, so they can be eaten more often. in daily diet, it is also necessary to pay attention to easy digestion and swallowing, so it is recommended to prioritize thin porridge and noodle dishes. the noodles must be cooked to be very soft, and at the same time, it is important to try to avoid giving the child foods that may aggravate the condition, such as beef, lamb, dog meat, and seafood, which may worsen the symptoms. in addition to proper diet, it is also important not to be picky or biased in eating to avoid nutritional deficiencies and low resistance, which may lead to recurrence.
