Patient's question:
My son is 3 years old. At first, he said it hurts when he swallows something. I noticed that his voice is a bit hoarse when he talks. Also, he has a slight fever and lacks energy. Please ask: What should the child eat during the treatment for tonsillitis and high fever?Doctor's answer:
For tonsillitis in children, it is recommended to regulate health through daily diet. Encourage children to eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, as many fruits have the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying, and are rich in vitamins, which can help improve immunity and resist diseases. Pears, kiwis, and golden oranges are good choices, as they also have the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying. Daily diet should be chosen to be easily digestible, such as porridge, noodles, etc. Foods like beef, lamb, poultry eggs, and seafood, which are considered "heating" foods during this stage, should not be given to children. This also includes stimulating and spicy foods like hot pot and spicy barbecue. Finally, it is also important to help children develop good eating habits, avoid picky eating, and ensure comprehensive nutrition to reduce the incidence of tonsillitis.
