Patient's question:
My son is 8 years old. At first, he said his throat hurts, and I noticed he has a mild cough. Additionally, he has a low fever. I would like to ask: What should be noted in the diet if the child has tonsillitis and high fever?Doctor's answer:
During the treatment of tonsillitis, diet is also a very important aspect. It is recommended that moms encourage their children to eat 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. For fruits, it is advisable to choose pears, apples, etc. For vegetables, green vegetables, cabbage, tomatoes, etc., are all excellent choices. You can select based on your child's preferences. In daily diet, it should focus on light, easy to digest, and easy to swallow, such as porridge, noodles, etc., which are very good. It is recommended to drink more water, and avoid or eat less mutton, dog meat, etc., which are considered "hot" foods. Finally, it is also important to help children develop good eating habits, avoiding picky eating, so that they can get comprehensive nutrition and reduce the incidence of tonsillitis.
