Patient's question:
My male baby is 1 year old. At first, his throat felt a bit sore, and I noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. Also, he had been running a low fever. Could you please advise on dietary precautions for a child with tonsillitis and fever?Doctor's answer:
If a child contracts tonsillitis, it is very necessary to seek medical attention immediately. At the same time, parents should also pay attention to giving their children more vegetables and fruits. These foods are not only rich in vitamins and trace elements, which can help boost immunity, but they are also relatively light in flavor. Examples include pears, apples, kumquats, and kiwis, all of which are great choices. It is also important to choose easily digestible foods for children, such as porridge, well-cooked noodles, and noodle wrappers. While maintaining a light diet, it is also advisable to avoid certain foods that may exacerbate the condition, such as poultry eggs, donkey meat, and beef or lamb. In daily life, it is also important to help children develop good habits. In addition to a healthy diet, they should also maintain a regular sleep schedule, going to bed early and waking up early, and engage in appropriate exercise.
