Patient's question:
Boys, who are already 9 years old, at the beginning, felt a sore throat when speaking, noticed it, accompanied by mild cough, and now they have a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: What are the dietary precautions for children with tonsillitis and high fever?Doctor's answer:
While treating pediatric tonsillitis, dietary care should also be given sufficient attention. Generally, it is recommended to give children more fruits and vegetables. In addition to being light and non-irritating, these foods are rich in nutrients, which helps boost the immune system and combat illness. For example, pears, apples, kumquats, and kiwis are all great choices. Daily meals should also focus on being easy to digest and swallow, so it is advisable to prioritize porridge and noodle-based foods. The noodles must be cooked to be very soft. At the same time, never feed children foods that could exacerbate the condition, such as seafood or dog meat, as these are harmful to the illness. Parents should also help their children develop good eating habits, ensuring cleanliness and health while avoiding pickiness and biased eating preferences.
