Patient's question:
Boy, he is already 9 years old. At first, he felt pain in his throat when he tried to drink water. He noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse when he spoke. Moreover, he now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: What are the dietary principles for children with tonsillitis and fever?Doctor's answer:
If a child has tonsillitis, the diet should first be kept light. Vegetables and fruits can be the main components, as they are not only light but also rich in various vitamins and trace elements needed by the body, which can clearly help the child fight the disease. Examples include pears, apples, kumquats, and kiwis, all of which are good choices. It is advisable to choose foods that are easy to swallow and digest, such as congee. Additionally, spicy and irritating foods, like hot pot or spicy noodles, as well as "trigger foods" like beef, lamb, or seafood, should not be given to the child. Finally, it is also important to help the child develop good eating habits.
