Patient's question:
Boy, 12 years old, attending elementary school. At first, he said his throat was sore, and it was noticed that he had mild coughing. Moreover, he now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: What dietary precautions should be taken when the child has tonsillitis and fever?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, it is very necessary to seek medical attention immediately. At the same time, parents should also pay attention to giving their child more vegetables and fruits. The nutritional content in vegetables and fruits is relatively rich, which can help improve the child's immunity and thus aid in the recovery of the tonsils. Options include pears, watermelon, kumquats, and pomegranates. For vegetables, green leafy vegetables and tomatoes are good choices. It is advisable to choose foods that are easy to swallow and digest, such as porridge. At the same time, never give the child "offensive" foods, such as seafood or dog meat, as these are detrimental to the condition. In addition to cooperating with the doctor, parents should also help their child develop good eating and living habits, which can help them recover earlier.
