Question
My daughter is 1 year old. She has just started to have a sore throat, with a noticeable increase in coughing, accompanied by a low-grade fever. What are the dietary tips for children with high fever and tonsillitis?
Answer
Diet is also very important during the treatment of tonsillitis. It is recommended to give the child more vegetables and fruits, which are rich in vitamins and help boost immunity. When choosing fruits, avoid those that are too cold, and opt for neutral fruits like apples and kiwis. Additionally, it is suggested to choose easily digestible foods such as porridge or noodles that are well-cooked, which are suitable for children during treatment. At the same time, parents should also ensure that the child does not consume spicy and irritant foods and seasonings, and help correct the child’s picky eating habits to ensure comprehensive nutrient absorption.
