Patient's question:
Boy, 7 years old, has started elementary school. At first, he said that swallowing was painful, and it was found that coughing was also quite severe. At the same time, he had low fever. Question: What are the dietary for children with tonsillitis and fever?Doctor's answer:
During the treatment of tonsillitis, diet is also a very important factor. It is recommended that moms give their children more vegetables and fruits, as fruits and vegetables are rich in vitamins and trace elements, and are relatively light in flavor, so they are very helpful for treating the disease. For example, apples, kiwis, and other fruits have the effects of regulating Qi, resolving phlegm, nourishing fluids, and moistening the lungs, which are very beneficial for the recovery of tonsillitis. As for staple foods, it is better to choose soft and fine options, such as porridge, noodles, etc., to avoid affecting swallowing or causing constipation and worsening the condition. Additionally, it is important to drink plenty of plain water, but avoid certain trigger foods, such as seafood, dog meat, etc. Finally, it is also necessary to help children develop good eating habits.
