Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 9 years old. At first, she said that even drinking water with her throat felt painful. She also noticed that her cough seemed quite severe, and now she has high fever that won't go down. Please ask: What are the dietary restrictions for children with tonsillitis and high fever?Doctor's answer:
While treating pediatric tonsillitis, dietary management also requires sufficient attention. It is generally recommended to give children more fruits and vegetables, as they are relatively rich in nutrients that can effectively boost their immunity. Options include pears, watermelons, kumquats, and pomegranates. For vegetables, green leafy greens and tomatoes are excellent choices. Daily meals should consist of easily digestible foods, such as congee and noodles. Additionally, spicy and irritating foods like hot pot and spicy hotpot, as well as "trigger foods" such as beef, lamb, and seafood, should be avoided. Alongside proper diet, it is important not to be picky or biased in eating habits to prevent nutritional deficiencies and weakened resistance, which could lead to recurrence.
