Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 8 years old. At first, he said his throat hurts, and then we noticed he also has a mild cough and a low fever. Could you please tell me what dietary restrictions are there for children with tonsillitis and fever?Doctor's answer:
If a child has tonsillitis, it is important to maintain a light diet first. Vegetables and fruits should be the main components, as they are not only light but also rich in various vitamins and trace elements needed by the body, which can help the child resist the disease. Examples include pears, apples, kumquats, and kiwis, all of which are good choices. It is best to choose foods that are easy to digest, such as porridge and noodles. At the same time, it is important to avoid foods that may exacerbate symptoms, such as beef, mutton, dog meat, and seafood. Diet is also very important for the treatment of tonsillitis, so be sure to pay attention.
