Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 3 years old. At first, he said his throat was sore, but we noticed he had severe coughing, and now he has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: What is a reasonable diet for a child with tonsillitis and fever?Doctor's answer:
Children's tonsils are prone to inflammation, and if they occur, they should be examined and treated as soon as possible. Regarding diet, it is recommended to focus on lighter foods such as vegetables and fruits. Vegetables and fruits are rich in vitamins, which help boost the immune system. Fruits like pears and apples, for example, have the effects of clearing heat and reducing inflammation, and can be eaten more frequently. It is advisable to choose foods that are easy to swallow and digest, such as congee. It is also recommended to drink plenty of water. Additionally, you should minimize or avoid foods that are considered "heating" such as mutton and dog meat. At the same time, it is important to help children correct their picky eating and food refusal habits to ensure comprehensive nutrient absorption.
