Patient's question:
Boy, 13 years old, in primary school. At first, he felt a sore throat when speaking. He found that his voice was a bit hoarse when talking. Now, he still has a high fever that doesn't go down. Question: What should children with tonsillitis and fever pay attention to in their diet?Doctor's answer:
During the treatment of tonsillitis, it is necessary to arrange a rational diet for the child. First, the child should be encouraged to eat more vegetables and fruits. Fruits and vegetables are rich in vitamins and trace elements, and they are relatively light in taste, so they are very helpful for the treatment of the disease. Pears, kiwis, and honeysuckle are good choices, as they also have the effects of clearing heat and detoxifying. It is advisable to choose foods that are easy to swallow and digest, such as congee. Additionally, it is important to drink plenty of plain water, but avoid "trigger foods" such as seafood and dog meat. Children with tonsillitis may experience some complications, which can be very harmful to their health. Therefore, parents must ensure that their children receive proper treatment.
