Patient's question:
Boy, who is already 5 years old, started to say that he had a sore throat. It was noticed that his cough seemed to be more severe as well. Additionally, he had a low fever. Here are some questions: How should the child with tonsillitis and low fever have a rational diet?Doctor's answer:
If a child suffers from tonsillitis, in addition to prompt treatment, attention should also be paid to diet. First, the child can eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, as fruits and vegetables are rich in vitamins, which help boost the immune system. For example, the peels of mandarin oranges are rich in vitamin C, which has excellent anti-inflammatory effects. It is also recommended to choose easily digestible foods, such as porridge or well-cooked noodles, which are suitable for children during their recovery period. Additionally, spicy and irritating foods, such as hot pot or spicy noodle soup, and "trigger foods" like beef, lamb, and seafood should be avoided. Children with tonsillitis may develop complications, which can be very harmful to their health. Therefore, parents must ensure that their children receive proper treatment.
