Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 6 years old. At first, she had a slight sore throat, noticed it, accompanied by mild coughing, and she has had a low-grade fever all along. Please ask: What dietary precautions should be taken for a child with tonsillitis and fever?Doctor's answer:
During the child's tonsillitis treatment, the daily diet should primarily focus on light foods. It's advisable to consume more vegetables and fruits. In addition to being light and non-irritating, these foods are also rich in nutrients, which help boost the immune system to fight off the illness. Fruits like pears and apples, for example, have cooling and anti-inflammatory properties and can be eaten in larger quantities. The daily diet should also be easy to digest and swallow, so it's recommended to consume foods like porridge and noodles. The noodles should be cooked to be very soft. Additionally, and spicy foods such as hot pot and spicy noodles, as well as allergenic foods like beef, lamb, and seafood, should not be given to the child. Parents should also help their children develop good eating habits, ensuring cleanliness and health, avoiding picky and biased eating habits.
