Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 3 years old. At first, he said he had a sore throat, and then we noticed he also had mild coughing, and it seemed like his low-grade fever never went away. I would like to ask: what dietary restrictions should there be when a child has tonsillitis and persistent fever?Doctor's answer:
While treating children's tonsillitis, dietary attention is also necessary. It is generally recommended to give children more fruits and vegetables, as the nutritional content in vegetables and fruits is rich, which can help boost their immunity and thus aid in the healing of tonsils. For example, the rind of golden orange is rich in vitamin C, which has excellent anti-inflammatory effects. In terms of dietary choices, it is best to opt for easily digestible options, such as congee and noodle soup. It is advisable to drink plenty of water. Additionally, it is recommended to eat less or avoid foods that are considered "heating" such as mutton and dog meat. Children's tonsillitis can lead to some complications, which are very harmful to their health. Therefore, parents must help their children receive proper treatment.
