Patient's question:
Boy, he is already 6 years old. At first, he felt sore when he drank water, discovered that his cough was quite severe, and now he still has a high fever that won't break. Please ask: What should young children with tonsillitis and high fever avoid eating?Doctor's answer:
It is essential to promptly treat children for tonsillitis. Additionally, their daily diet should include more vegetables and fruits, as many fruits have the effects of clearing heat and detoxifying, and are rich in vitamins, which can help boost immunity and resist diseases. Options include pears, kiwis, and tangerines, all of which also have clearing heat and detoxifying properties. For staple foods, it is advisable to choose softer and easier-to-chew options, such as congee or noodles, to avoid difficulties in swallowing or worsening constipation. At the same time, parents should ensure that children do not consume spicy, pungent, or greasy foods. Finally, it is important to help children develop healthy eating habits, avoiding picky or selective eating, to ensure a balanced diet and reduce the incidence of tonsillitis.
