Patient's question:
Boy, 11 years old, attending elementary school. At first, he felt a sore throat when speaking and noticed that his cough seemed more severe. Additionally, he seemed to have a low-grade fever that hasn't gone away. Please ask: What should children with tonsillitis and high fever avoid eating?Doctor's answer:
Pharyngitis is one of the more common diseases at present, requiring timely treatment. While undergoing treatment, it is important to feed the child some vegetables and fruits. Many fruits have the effects of clearing heat and detoxifying, and they are rich in vitamins, which can help boost immunity and resist diseases. However, when choosing fruits, it is important to avoid those that are too cold or cooling in nature. You can opt for fruits that are neutral in nature, such as apples or kiwis. Additionally, you can provide some easily digestible foods for the child, such as thin porridge or well-cooked noodles. At the same time, it is crucial never to give the child "pathogenic" foods, such as seafood or dog meat, as these can be detrimental to the condition. Lastly, parents should help their children develop good habits, maintain a regular routine, engage in moderate exercise, and boost their immunity, which can significantly reduce the occurrence of diseases.
