Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 3 years old. At first, he said his throat hurts, and then we noticed that swallowing seems a bit difficult. Additionally, he has had a slightly feverish condition for a while. Could you please tell me about any dietary restrictions for children with tonsillitis and high fever?Doctor's answer:
During the treatment of tonsillitis, diet is also a very important aspect. It is recommended that mothers give their children more vegetables and fruits. Vegetables and fruits are rich in nutrients, which can help improve children's immunity and thus aid in the healing of the tonsils. For example, the peels of kumquats are rich in vitamin C, which has a strong anti-inflammatory effect. It is also important to choose easily digestible foods for children, such as porridge, well-cooked noodles, and noodle skins. At the same time, it is absolutely necessary to avoid foods that may exacerbate the condition, such as seafood and dog meat, as these are harmful to the illness. While maintaining a proper diet, it is also important to avoid picky eating and to prevent nutritional deficiencies and weakened immunity, which could lead to recurrence.
