Patient's question:
Baby girl, only 7 months old. At first, her throat felt a bit sore, and she noticed that her cough seemed to be getting worse. Now, she has a high fever that won't go down. Could you please advise on the dietary principles for a child with tonsillitis and low-grade fever?Doctor's answer:
During the treatment of tonsillitis, it is necessary to arrange a reasonable diet for the child. First, the child can be given more vegetables and fruits. This is mainly because vegetables and fruits are not only light but also rich in various vitamins and trace elements needed by the human body, which can obviously help the child resist the disease. Options include pears, watermelon, kumquats, and pomegranates. For vegetables, green leafy vegetables and tomatoes are good choices. Daily meals should consist of easily digestible foods, such as congee and noodles. However, it is also important to note that spicy and irritating foods, as well as certain "trigger foods," are not recommended for the child during this stage. Diet is also very important for the treatment of tonsillitis, so pay close attention.
