Patient's question:
My son is 5 years old. At first, he felt a sore throat when speaking, and then discovered that his cough was quite severe, accompanied by low fever. Please ask: What should infants and young children with tonsillitis and fever avoid eating?Doctor's answer:
Children's tonsils are very prone to inflammation. If they occur, it is important to seek medical attention as soon as possible. In terms of diet, it is recommended to focus on lighter foods such as vegetables and fruits. These foods are not only rich in vitamins and trace elements, which can help boost immunity, but they are also relatively light in flavor. For example, pears are cooling in nature and have the effects of reducing fever, soothing the throat, expelling phlegm, and relieving pain. They can alleviate the symptoms of acute tonsillitis, such as throat discomfort. It is advisable to choose foods that are easy to swallow and digest, such as congee. At the same time, it is important to avoid foods that may exacerbate symptoms, such as beef, lamb, dog meat, and seafood. Finally, it is also necessary to help children develop healthy eating habits, avoiding pickiness and preference for certain foods. This will ensure a balanced diet and reduce the incidence of tonsillitis.
