Patient's question:
My little girl is 7 years old. At first, she said that even drinking water with her throat felt painful. I noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. Additionally, it seems like her low-grade fever hasn't gone away. I would like to ask: what dietary precautions should be taken if a child has tonsillitis and has no appetite?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, it is very necessary to seek medical attention immediately. At the same time, parents should also pay attention to giving their child more vegetables and fruits. This is because vegetables and fruits are also rich in vitamins, which can help improve immunity and alleviate symptoms. For example, pears are cool in nature and have the effects of reducing fever, soothing the throat, expelling phlegm, and relieving pain. They can help alleviate the discomfort of acute tonsillitis in the throat. It is also recommended to choose some easily digestible foods, such as cooking porridge or boiling noodles until they are soft. At the same time, it is important to avoid giving the child "trigger foods" as much as possible, such as beef, lamb, dog meat, and seafood, which may worsen the symptoms. Children with tonsillitis may experience some complications, which are very harmful to their health. Therefore, parents must help their children receive proper treatment.
