Patient's question:
My little girl, she is 6 years old. At first, she said she had a sore throat, and I noticed that her cough was quite severe. Additionally, she had a low fever. I would like to ask: What are the dietary restrictions for a child with tonsillitis and high fever?Doctor's answer:
During the treatment of tonsillitis, diet is also a very important aspect. It is recommended that moms can encourage their children to eat more vegetables and fruits. The reason for eating more vegetables and fruits is mainly to supplement vitamins and trace elements, help boost immunity, and recover quickly. Fruits such as pears, watermelons, honeysuckle, and pomegranates can be chosen. As for vegetables, green leafy greens and tomatoes are excellent options. For daily meals, it is best to focus on light, easy-to-digest, and easy-to-swallow foods, such as porridge and noodles. Additionally, (spicy and irritating) foods like hot pot and spicy noodle soup, as well as (trigger foods) like beef, lamb, and seafood, should not be given to children. Diet is also very crucial for the treatment of tonsillitis, so attention must be paid.
