Patient's question:
Boy, already 3 years old. At first, there was a little pain in the throat. He noticed that the cough seemed to be more severe as well. Additionally, he now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: What dietary precautions should be taken for infants and toddlers with tonsillitis and high fever?Doctor's answer:
During the treatment for tonsillitis, the child's daily diet should primarily be light. It is advisable to consume more vegetables and fruits, as many fruits have the effects of clearing heat and detoxifying, and are rich in vitamins, which can help boost immunity and resist diseases. Fruits like pears and apples, for example, have the effects of clearing heat and reducing inflammation, so they can be eaten more frequently. The daily diet should also be easy to digest and swallow, so it is recommended to focus on foods like porridge and noodles. The noodles must be cooked to be very soft. At the same time, it is important to avoid foods that may exacerbate symptoms, such as beef, lamb, dog meat, and seafood, as they can worsen the condition. Children with tonsillitis may experience complications, which can be very harmful to their health. Therefore, parents must help their children receive proper treatment.
