Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 9 years old. At first, she felt a sore throat when speaking, and noticed accompanied by a slight cough, and it seemed like a low fever that never subsided. Please ask: What should the child avoid if the tonsils are inflamed and keep having a fever?Doctor's answer:
Wanting children with tonsillitis to recover and resume eating as soon as possible is very important. First, they should eat more fresh vegetables and fruits. Besides being light and non-irritating, these foods are also rich in nutrients, which helps in resisting illness. For example, the peels of honeysuckle are rich in vitamin C, which has a strong anti-inflammatory effect. When it comes to staple foods, it’s best to choose soft and fine options, such as porridge or noodles, to avoid affecting swallowing or worsening constipation. Foods like beef, lamb, poultry, eggs, and seafood, which are considered “trigger foods,” should be avoided during this stage. Of course, this also includes spicy and irritating foods like hot pot or spicy noodle soup. Finally, parents should help children develop good habits, maintain a regular sleep schedule, engage in appropriate exercise, and boost their immunity. This can significantly reduce the risk of getting sick.
