Question
My son is 1 year old. Initially, he felt a sore throat while speaking and had some difficulty swallowing. Now, he has a persistent high fever. What are the important dietary considerations for children with low fever and tonsillitis?
Answer
Tonsillitis is a common disease, and during treatment, it is important to avoid irritant foods. Try to eat more vegetables and fruits, which are not only nutritious but also help fight off illness. However, avoid choosing overly cold fruits; opt for neutral ones like apples and kiwis. Meals should be easy to digest, with porridge and soft bread as the main staple foods. Absolutely do not let the child eat any food that may worsen the condition, such as seafood or dog meat. Tonsillitis in children can easily lead to complications, which are very harmful to health. Therefore, parents need to help their children receive proper treatment.
