Patient's question:
Boy, 12 years old, has started elementary school. At first, he felt a sore throat when speaking, noticed that his cough seems to be quite severe, and he also has a slight fever and lacks energy. Please ask: What foods should the child avoid when suffering from tonsillitis and high fever?Doctor's answer:
If a child contracts tonsillitis, it is very important to seek medical attention immediately. At the same time, parents should also pay attention to giving their child more vegetables and fruits. Fruits and vegetables are rich in vitamins and trace elements, and they are relatively light, making them very helpful in treating the disease. Options include pears, kiwis, and honeysuckle, which also have the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying. In daily diet, it should focus on light, easily digestible, and easy-to-swallow foods, such as porridge and noodles, which are excellent choices. During this period, foods like beef, lamb, poultry eggs, and seafood should be avoided, as they are considered "offensive" foods. This also includes spicy and pungent dishes like hot pot and spicy hotpot. Parents should also help their children develop good eating habits, ensuring cleanliness and health, avoiding picky and biased eating habits.
