Patient's question:
Boy, he is already 8 years old. At first, he said that even drinking water made his throat hurt. He noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse when speaking, and at the same time, he had been running a low fever. Please ask: what dietary precautions should be taken for a child with tonsillitis and low fever?Doctor's answer:
If a child suffers from tonsillitis, in addition to prompt treatment, dietary care should also be emphasized. Firstly, the child can consume more fresh fruits and vegetables, as many fruits have the properties of clearing heat and detoxifying, and are rich in vitamins, which can help improve immunity and resist diseases. For example, the peels of kumquats are rich in vitamin C, which has excellent anti-inflammatory effects. It is advisable to choose foods that are easy to swallow and digest, such as porridge. Foods like beef, lamb, poultry, eggs, and seafood, which are considered "trigger foods" during this stage, should be avoided. Of course, this also includes spicy and pungent foods like hot pot and spicy soup. At the same time, it is important to help the child correct bad eating habits such as pickiness and food aversion to ensure comprehensive nutrient absorption.
