Question
My son is 1 year old. Initially, he felt a sore throat when speaking, and I noticed that his coughing seems more severe. At the same time, it seems like he has had a low-grade fever that hasn’t subsided. What should a child eat during the treatment of tonsillitis with fever?
Answer
During the treatment of tonsillitis in children, it is important to arrange their diet reasonably. Firstly, you can give your child more vegetables and fruits, as they are not only light but also rich in various vitamins and trace elements, which help children resist diseases. You can choose fruits like pears, watermelons, tangerines, and pomegranates, and for vegetables, green leafy vegetables and tomatoes are good choices. Additionally, when choosing food, it is important to pick easy-to-swallow and digestible foods such as congee. At the same time, parents should also avoid letting their children eat spicy and irritant foods or consume spicy seasonings. In daily life, it is also important to help children develop good habits, ensuring not only a healthy diet but also adequate sleep and wake-up times, as well as appropriate exercise.
