Patient's question:
Boys, who are already 4 years old, initially said they had a sore throat. It was found that their cough was quite severe, and now they have high fever that won't go down. Please ask: When a child has tonsillitis and fever, what dietary precautions should be noted?Doctor's answer:
During the treatment of tonsillitis, the daily diet should primarily be light and simple. You can eat more vegetables and fruits, as many fruits have the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying, and are rich in vitamins, which can help boost immunity and resist diseases. However, when choosing fruits, avoid those that are too cold or overly cooling. Opt for some neutral-natured options, such as apples or kiwis. In terms of other dietary aspects, it is recommended to choose foods that are soft and easy to digest, such as well-cooked noodles and porridge, which are excellent choices. While maintaining a light diet, it is also important to eat fewer "pathogenic" foods, such as poultry, eggs, donkey meat, beef, and lamb. Tonsillitis in children may lead to complications, which can be very harmful to their health. Therefore, parents must ensure that their children receive proper treatment.
