Question
What should be paid attention to when a child has inflammation and a low fever in the tonsils?
Answer
When a child has tonsillitis, it is important not only to actively treat the condition but also to pay close attention to their diet. Firstly, increasing the intake of fresh fruits and vegetables is recommended, as many fruits have the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying, and are rich in vitamins that help boost immunity and fight off diseases. For instance, the vitamin C in tangerine peel has a good effect on inflammation. In terms of diet, opt for foods that are easy to swallow and digest, such as congee. During this period, it is advisable to avoid giving the child beef, mutton, poultry eggs, and seafood, which can trigger inflammation, as well as spicy foods that are strong in stimulation. At the same time, efforts should be made to help correct the child’s picky eating and aversion to food habits to ensure comprehensive nutrient absorption.
