Patient's question:
My little girl is 7 years old. At first, she said that even drinking water made her throat hurt. She also had severe coughing and had been slightly feverish. Could you please tell me: What dietary precautions should be taken for infants and young children with tonsillitis and low-grade fever?Doctor's answer:
During the treatment of tonsillitis, diet is also a very important aspect. It is recommended that mothers can give their children more vegetables and fruits, mainly because vegetables and fruits are not only light but also rich in various vitamins and trace elements needed by the human 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 sore throat caused by acute tonsillitis. It is advisable to choose foods that are easy to swallow and digest, such as congee, which are excellent choices. While maintaining a light diet, it is also necessary to eat fewer allergenic foods, such as poultry eggs, donkey meat, beef, and mutton. In daily life, it is also important to help children develop good habits. In addition to a healthy diet, they should also go to bed early and get up early, and engage in appropriate exercise.
