Patient's question:
My little girl is 5 years old. At first, she felt a sore throat when speaking and noticed that her voice was a bit hoarse. Additionally, she has been slightly feverish for a while. Please ask: What dietary precautions should be taken for children with tonsillitis and high fever?Doctor's answer:
During the treatment of tonsillitis in children, it is recommended to follow a light diet. You can give the child more vegetables and fruits. Fruits and vegetables are rich in vitamins and trace elements, and they are relatively light, so they are very helpful for the treatment of the disease. For example, apples, kiwis, etc., also have the effects of regulating qi, resolving phlegm, generating fluids, and moistening the lungs, which are very beneficial for the quality of tonsillitis. Daily diet also needs to pay attention to easy digestion and easy swallowing, so it is recommended to mainly consume porridge and noodles. The noodles must be cooked to be very fine and soft. However, it is also necessary to pay attention that irritating, spicy foods, as well as some allergenic foods, are not recommended for children during this period. Finally, parents should help children develop good living habits, maintain a regular schedule, exercise moderately, and improve their immunity. This can greatly reduce the incidence of the disease.
