Patient's question:
Boy, 9 years old, has started primary school. At first, he said his throat was sore. It was noticed that his cough seems to be quite severe as well, and now he has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: What are the dietary principles for a child with tonsillitis and low-grade fever?Doctor's answer:
During the treatment of tonsillitis, diet is also a very important aspect. It is recommended that moms can give their children more vegetables and fruits, as many fruits have the effects of clearing heat and detoxifying, and are rich in vitamins, which can help boost immunity and resist diseases. For example, pears are cooling in nature and have the functions of reducing fever, soothing the throat, expelling phlegm, and relieving pain, thereby alleviating the symptoms of acute tonsillitis such as sore throat. It is advisable to choose foods that are easy to swallow and digest, such as porridge, which are excellent choices. However, it is still necessary to avoid and spicy foods, as well as some allergenic foods during this period. In addition to following the doctor's advice, parents should also help their children develop good dietary and lifestyle habits, which can aid in early recovery.
