Patient's question:
Boy, 9 years old, in elementary school. At first, he said he had pain when swallowing. It was found that his cough was quite severe, and it seemed like his low fever never subsided. Please ask: What should the child avoid eating when he has tonsillitis and a low fever?Doctor's answer:
It is very important to help your child recover from tonsillitis and return to a normal diet as soon as possible. First, they should eat more fresh vegetables and fruits. Many fruits have the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying, and are also rich in vitamins, which can help boost immunity and resist diseases. For fruits, it is recommended to choose pear, apple, etc. For vegetables, green vegetables, cabbage, tomatoes, etc., are all good options. You can choose based on your child’s preferences. For daily meals, it should be light, easy to digest, and easy to swallow, such as congee, noodles, etc. Additionally, spicy and irritating foods like spicy hot pot, hot pot, and certain "forbidden" foods like beef, lamb, and seafood should be avoided. Parents should also help their children develop good eating habits, ensuring cleanliness and health, and avoiding picky or biased eating habits.
