Question
My son is 1 year old. Initially, he said he felt pain when swallowing, and I noticed he had difficulty swallowing. Now, he has a persistent high fever. How should I manage a reasonable diet for my child with tonsillitis and low fever?
Answer
During the treatment of tonsillitis in children, it is recommended to maintain a light diet. It is advisable to give the child more vegetables and fruits, which are not only light and non-irritating but also rich in nutrients, helping to resist the disease. Good choices include pears, apples, tangerines, kiwis, etc. For other dietary options, it is suggested to choose foods that are more watery and easy to digest, such as well-cooked noodles and congee. At the same time, it is important to avoid giving the child any irritants like seafood or dog meat, as these can be detrimental to the condition. In addition to following the doctor’s advice, parents should also help children develop good eating and living habits to aid in an early recovery.
