Question
Dear parents, my daughter is only 6 months old and has started to feel throat pain, accompanied by a slight cough and persistent low fever. What are the dietary principles for children with feverish tonsillitis?
Answer
Diet is also very important in the treatment of pediatric tonsillitis. It is recommended to consume more fruits and vegetables, as many fruits have the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying, are rich in vitamins, and help to boost immunity. Options include fruits like pears, watermelons, tangerines, and pomegranates, as well as green leafy vegetables and tomatoes. It is advisable to choose easily digestible foods such as porridge or soft noodles, which are suitable for children during treatment. At the same time, it is best to avoid eating seafood, dog meat, and other foods that may exacerbate the condition. Also, be mindful not to be picky or have a biased diet to avoid malnutrition, reduce resistance, and increase the risk of recurrence.
