Patient's question:
My son, who is 5 years old, initially said that even drinking water felt painful in his throat. He also noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse when he spoke. Additionally, he had a slight fever and lacked energy. I would like to ask: What should young children eat during the treatment for tonsillitis with high fever?Doctor's answer:
For the disease of tonsillitis in children, it is recommended to start with daily diet for regulation. Encourage the child to eat more fresh vegetables and fruits. These foods are not only rich in vitamins and trace elements, which can help boost immunity, but they are also relatively light in taste. Fruits like pears and apples have the effects of clearing heat and reducing inflammation and can be eaten more frequently. For staple foods, choose softer and finer options, such as porridge or noodles, to avoid affecting swallowing or causing constipation that could worsen the condition. At the same time, never give the child any stimulating foods, such as seafood or dog meat, as these are not beneficial for the condition. Finally, it is also important to help the child develop good eating habits.
