Patient's question:
Boy, 13 years old, in primary school. At first, he felt sore throat even when trying to drink water, and found that his voice was a bit hoarse when speaking. Moreover, he has been having high fever that won't subside now. Please ask: What dietary precautions should be taken if the child has tonsillitis and keeps having a fever?Doctor's answer:
During the treatment of tonsillitis, it is important to arrange the child's diet reasonably. First, you can give the child more vegetables and fruits. In addition to being light and non-irritating, these foods are also rich in nutrients, which helps to resist the disease. You can choose apples, kiwis, and honeysuckle, etc. At the same time, they also have the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying. In daily diet, attention should also be paid to easy digestion and swallowing, so it is recommended to take thin porridge and noodles as the main food. Noodles must be cooked into a fine and soft texture. At the same time, attention should also be paid to minimizing the child's intake of allergenic foods, such as beef, mutton, dog meat, and seafood, as they may aggravate the symptoms. At the same time, it is also necessary to help the child correct the bad habit of picky eating and poor appetite to ensure comprehensive nutrient absorption.
