Patient's question:
My little girl is 5 years old. At first, she said that even drinking water made her throat hurt. She also had severe coughing. Additionally, it seems like her low-grade fever hasn't gone away. I would like to ask: What should infants and young children eat during the treatment for tonsillitis and fever?Doctor's answer:
If a child suffers from 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, as many fruits have the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying, and are rich in vitamins, which can help boost immunity and resist diseases. 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 acute tonsillitis in the throat. In daily diet, it should be light, easy to digest, and easy to swallow, such as porridge and noodles, which are very good options. Additionally, spicy and irritating foods, such as spicy hot pot and hot pot, as well as allergenic foods, such as beef, lamb, and seafood, should not be given to children. 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.
