Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 3 years old. At first, he felt pain in his throat even when drinking water, and I noticed that his cough also seemed quite severe. Additionally, it seems like his low-grade fever hasn't gone away. I would like to ask: How should children with tonsillitis and fever have a rational diet?Doctor's answer:
Pharyngitis is one of the more common diseases currently, requiring timely treatment. While treating, it is important to provide children with vegetables and fruits. The nutrients in vegetables and fruits are quite rich, which can help boost the child's immunity and thus aid in the healing of the tonsils. For example, the peels of kumquats are rich in vitamin C, which has a strong anti-inflammatory effect. In daily diet, it should be light, easy to digest, and easy to swallow, such as congee and noodles, which are both excellent options. It is recommended to drink plenty of water. Additionally, avoid or limit the consumption of foods that can exacerbate symptoms, such as mutton and dog meat. While maintaining a proper diet, it is also important not to be picky or selective in eating, to avoid nutritional deficiencies and weakened immunity, which could lead to recurrence.
