Patient's question:
My male baby is 1 year old. At first, he said it hurts when he swallows things, and it was found that swallowing seems a bit difficult. Additionally, he now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should infants and young children with tonsillitis have a reasonable diet when they have low-grade fever?Doctor's answer:
During the treatment of tonsillitis in children, it is recommended to follow a light diet. Encourage the child to eat more vegetables and fruits. In addition to being light and non-irritating, these foods are also rich in nutrients, which helps to boost the immune system and fight off illness. Examples of good choices include pears, apples, kumquats, and kiwis. In terms of other dietary recommendations, opt for foods that are soft and easy to digest, such as well-cooked noodles and porridge. At the same time, avoid giving the child any "trigger foods," such as seafood or dog meat, as these can be detrimental to the condition. In addition to following the doctor's treatment plan, parents should also help their children develop healthy eating and lifestyle habits, which can aid in early recovery.
