Patient's question:
My little girl is 4 years old. At first, she felt a sore throat when talking, and noticed it accompanied by a slight cough. Also, she had a bit of a fever and was lacking energy. Could you please advise on what foods she can eat more when suffering from tonsillitis with a fever?Doctor's answer:
If a child suffers from tonsillitis, it is very necessary to seek medical attention immediately. At the same time, parents should also pay attention to giving their children more vegetables and fruits. The reason for encouraging children to eat more vegetables and fruits is mainly to supplement vitamins and trace elements, which helps to boost immunity and aid recovery. For fruits, we generally recommend choosing those that are neutral in nature and rich in vitamins, such as kumquats or kiwis. It is also advisable to opt for easily digestible foods, such as porridge or well-cooked noodles, which are suitable for children during their recovery. Additionally, and spicy foods, like hot pot or spicy noodles, as well as foods that are considered "fattening" (), such as beef, lamb, or seafood, should not be given to children. Diet plays a crucial role in the treatment of tonsillitis, so it is essential to pay close attention.
