Patient's question:
Boy, 11 years old, has started elementary school. At first, he said he had a sore throat. It was found that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. Additionally, he had a low fever. Please ask: What dietary precautions should be taken if the child has tonsillitis and high fever?Doctor's answer:
If a child has tonsillitis, the diet should first be kept light. Vegetables and fruits can be the main components, as both are rich in vitamins and trace elements, and are relatively light, which is very helpful for treating the illness. For example, the peel of jujube, which is rich in vitamin C, has excellent anti-inflammatory effects. In daily diet, it is also important to choose easily digestible and easy-to-swallow foods, so it is recommended to focus on thin porridge and noodle foods. The noodles must be cooked to be soft and smooth. However, it is important to note that stimulative, spicy foods, as well as some "triggering" foods, are not recommended for children during this stage. Finally, parents should help their children develop good living habits, maintain a regular schedule, engage in appropriate exercise, and improve their immunity. This can greatly reduce the incidence of the disease.
