Patient's question:
Boy, 9 years old, has started primary school. At first, he said he had a sore throat. He noticed that his cough seemed to be getting worse, and he also had a slight fever and low energy. Please ask: What are the dietary restrictions for children with tonsillitis and fever?Doctor's answer:
It is very important to help your child recover from tonsillitis and return to eating as soon as possible. First, they should eat more fresh vegetables and fruits. Vegetables and fruits are rich in nutrients, which can help boost your child's immunity and thus aid in the healing of the tonsils. When it comes to fruits, it is recommended to choose pear, apple, etc. For vegetables, options like green vegetables, cabbage, and tomatoes are great. You can choose based on your child's preferences. In terms of daily diet, it should be light, easy to digest, and easy to swallow, such as congee and noodles, which are excellent choices. Additionally, it is important to drink plenty of plain water and eat less "heating" foods like beef, mutton, and dog meat. Seafood is best avoided or consumed in moderation. Lastly, it is essential to help your child develop good eating habits.
