Question
My daughter is only 2 months old. She says her throat hurts, and her voice sounds a bit hoarse. She also has a low-grade fever. How should I feed my child healthily when they have tonsillitis and a fever?
Answer
When children have tonsillitis with fever symptoms, in addition to seeking timely medical attention and receiving professional treatment, daily diet also plays a crucial role. Parents should pay attention to having their children consume more vegetables and fruits. Many fruits have the function of clearing heat and detoxifying, and are rich in vitamins, which help to boost immunity, fight off diseases, and have a soothing effect on the throat, such as apples and kiwis. Moreover, it is advisable to choose easily digestible foods for the child, such as porridge, soft noodles, or noodles. At the same time, it is best to avoid giving children foods like beef and mutton, poultry eggs, seafood, as well as spicy, hot pot, and other irritating foods to prevent exacerbating throat discomfort. Cultivating good eating and living habits can help children recover as soon as possible.
