Patient's question:
My daughter, who is 9 years old, initially felt a sore throat when she started talking. She noticed that her voice became a bit hoarse, and she also had a low fever. Please advise: what should be noted in the diet when the child has tonsillitis and fever?Doctor's answer:
Children's tonsils are prone to inflammation, and once it occurs, early examination and treatment should be sought. In terms of diet, it is recommended to focus on lighter foods such as vegetables and fruits. This is because vegetables and fruits are rich in vitamins, which can help boost the immune system and alleviate symptoms. For example, apples, kiwis, and other fruits have the additional benefits of regulating qi, resolving phlegm, generating body fluids, and moisturizing the lungs, all of which are very helpful for tonsillitis. When making dietary choices, it is best to opt for easily digestible options, such as congee and noodles. Meanwhile, parents should also pay attention not to let their children consume. In addition to following the doctor's guidance for tonsillitis treatment, parents should also help their children develop healthy eating and living habits, which can contribute to a faster recovery.
