Patient's question:
My son is 9 years old. At first, he said that even drinking water made his throat hurt. He was also found to have severe coughing, and it seemed like his low-grade fever hadn't gone away. Could you please tell me what dietary restrictions are there for children with tonsillitis and high fever?Doctor's answer:
It is very important to help children recover from tonsillitis and resume eating as soon as possible. First, they should eat more fresh vegetables and fruits. These foods are not only rich in vitamins and trace elements, which can help boost the immune system, but they are also relatively light and easy to digest. For example, fruits like pears and apples have the effects of clearing heat and reducing inflammation, so they can be eaten in greater quantities. It is also important to choose easily digestible foods for the child, such as porridge, soft noodles, or noodle wrappers. At the same time, it is best to avoid foods that may exacerbate symptoms, such as beef, lamb, dog meat, and seafood. Lastly, it is important to help the child develop good eating habits.
