Patient's question:
Boys, who are already 8 years old, at first felt a sore throat when speaking. They found that the cough was quite severe, and they had a low fever all the time. Please ask: What are the dietary principles for low fever in infants and young children with tonsillitis?Doctor's answer:
It is essential to promptly treat tonsillitis in children. Additionally, their daily diet should include more vegetables and fruits. These foods are not only rich in vitamins and trace elements but can also help boost immunity. They are relatively light in flavor as well. For fruits, it is recommended to choose pears, apples, etc. As for vegetables, options like green vegetables, cabbage, tomatoes, etc., are excellent choices. You can select based on your child's preferences. It is also advisable to provide easily digestible foods, such as thin porridge or well-cooked noodles. Furthermore, spicy and pungent foods like hot pot or spicy noodles, as well as allergenic foods like beef, lamb, and seafood, should be avoided. Lastly, it is important to help children develop healthy eating habits, avoiding picky eating and food preferences, to ensure a balanced diet and reduce the incidence of tonsillitis.
