Patient's question:
Boy, 11 years old, attending elementary school. At first, he felt pain when drinking water with his throat. He noticed this accompanied by mild coughing, and also had low-grade fever. Question: What is a rational diet for a child with tonsillitis who always has a fever?Doctor's answer:
It is very important to help children recover from tonsillitis and resume their 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 they are rich in vitamins, which can help boost immunity and resist diseases. Good choices include pears, kiwis, and tangerines, as they also have the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying. In terms of other dietary recommendations, it's best to choose foods that are soft and easy to digest, such as well-cooked noodles and porridge. While maintaining a light diet, it's also important to eat fewer "trigger foods," such as poultry, eggs, donkey meat, beef, and lamb. Children with tonsillitis may experience complications, which can be very harmful to their health. Therefore, parents must ensure that their children receive proper treatment.
