Patient's question:
Boy, he is already 7 years old. At first, his throat felt a bit sore, and he noticed that his cough seemed to be more severe as well. Additionally, he had a slight fever and wasn't feeling well. Please ask: What dietary precautions should be taken for a child with tonsillitis and low-grade fever?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, it is very necessary to seek medical attention immediately. At the same time, parents should also pay attention to giving their child more vegetables and fruits. Vegetables and fruits are rich in vitamins, which help boost the immune system. When it comes to fruits, pears and apples are recommended. For vegetables, green vegetables, cabbage, and tomatoes are all good choices. You can choose based on your child's preferences. Daily diet should also focus on easy digestion and swallowing, so it is recommended to eat porridge and noodle dishes. The noodles must be cooked soft and smooth. Additionally, spicy and irritating foods like hot pot and spicy noodles, as well as "trigger foods" like beef, lamb, and seafood, should not be given to children. Finally, it is also important to help children develop good eating habits.
