Patient's question:
My boy, who is 6 years old, initially said he had a sore throat. Upon observation, it was found that his voice was a bit hoarse when he spoke, and it seemed like a low fever that never went away. Please ask: How should a child with tonsillitis and fever have a reasonable diet?Doctor's answer:
If a child has tonsillitis, the diet should first be kept light. Vegetables and fruits should be the main focus. The reason for emphasizing vegetables and fruits is primarily to supplement vitamins and trace elements, helping to boost immunity and facilitate quick recovery. For fruits, pears and apples are recommended, while for vegetables, green vegetables, cabbage, tomatoes, and the like are excellent choices. You can choose based on the child's preferences. Daily diet should also pay attention to easy digestion and easy swallowing, so it is recommended to focus on porridge and noodle-based foods. The noodles must be cooked soft and smooth. It is also advised to drink plenty of water. Additionally, avoid or limit the intake of foods that may aggravate the condition, such as lamb or dog meat. Lastly, help the child develop good eating habits.
