Patient's question:
Boy, 9 years old, in primary school. At first, he said his throat hurts. It was found that his cough is quite severe, and he has a slight fever and no energy. Please ask: What are the dietary taboos for children with tonsillitis and fever?Doctor's answer:
During the child's treatment for tonsillitis, the daily diet should first and foremost be light. It is advisable to consume more vegetables and fruits, as these foods are not only rich in vitamins and trace elements but can also help boost the immune system. They are relatively light as well. For example, the peel of kumquats is rich in vitamin C, which has excellent anti-inflammatory properties. In terms of dietary choices, it is best to opt for easily digestible foods, such as congee or noodles, which are excellent options. At the same time, avoid giving the child any "trigger foods" (fā wù), such as seafood or dog meat, as these can be detrimental to the condition. Additionally, it is important to help the child correct any picky eating or anorexia habits to ensure that nutrients are fully absorbed.
