Patient's question:
My male baby is 1 year old. At first, he had a slight sore throat, and then I noticed he had severe coughing and a low fever. Could you please tell me: what dietary precautions should be taken for infants and toddlers with tonsillitis and fever?Doctor's answer:
While treating children's tonsillitis, dietary care should also be given sufficient attention. Generally, it is recommended to give children more fruits and vegetables. In addition to being light and non-irritating, these foods are also rich in nutrients, which helps to 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 acute tonsillitis in the throat. In daily diet, it should be light, easy to digest, and easy to swallow, such as congee and noodles, which are very good. 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.
