Patient's question:
Boy, 7 years old, started elementary school. At first, he said it hurt when he swallowed things. It was 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 should children with tonsillitis and persistent fever eat during treatment?Doctor's answer:
During the treatment period for tonsillitis, diet is also a very crucial aspect. It is recommended that mothers can give their children more vegetables and fruits to eat. In addition to being light and non-irritating, these foods are also rich in nutrients, which helps in resisting the disease. For example, the peels of kumquats are rich in vitamin C, which has a strong anti-inflammatory effect. When it comes to staple foods, it is advisable to choose softer and finer options, such as congee or noodles, to avoid difficulties in swallowing or worsening constipation. At the same time, never feed the child certain foods that can aggravate the condition, such as seafood or dog meat, as these are harmful to the illness. In daily life, it is also important to help the child develop good habits. In addition to a healthy diet, getting adequate sleep, going to bed early and waking up early, and engaging in appropriate exercise are equally important.
