Patient's question:
My boy is 2 years old. At first, his throat felt a bit sore, and it was found that his cough was also quite severe. Additionally, it seems like his low-grade fever hasn't gone away. Could you please advise on the dietary precautions to be taken for children with tonsillitis and high fever?Doctor's answer:
Children with tonsillitis are advised to be taken to the doctor promptly. In terms of diet, vegetables and fruits are relatively light and are a good choice for children during treatment. These foods are not only rich in vitamins and trace elements, which can help boost immunity, but they are also relatively light. For example, fruits like pears and apples have the effects of clearing heat and reducing inflammation and can be eaten in moderation. It is also recommended to choose easily digestible foods, such as cooking porridge or making noodles soft, which are suitable for children during treatment. At the same time, parents should also pay attention not to let children eat spicy, pungent, or greasy foods. Parents should also help children develop good dietary habits, ensuring cleanliness and health, and avoiding pickiness or dietary preferences.
