What can a child with tonsillitis and low-grade fever eat more?

Patient's question:

My little girl is 4 years old. At first, she said that even drinking water felt painful in her throat. I noticed it was accompanied by mild coughing. She also had a slight fever and seemed lacking in energy. I would like to ask: If a child has tonsil inflammation and low-grade fever, what foods can they eat more of?

Doctor's answer:

tonsillitis is one of the more common diseases currently, and it requires timely treatment. While undergoing treatment, children should be given some vegetables and fruits to eat. In addition to being light and non-irritating, these foods are also rich in nutrients, which helps in resisting diseases. For example, the peels of kumquats are rich in vitamin C, which has a very good anti-inflammatory effect. Daily diet also needs to be easy to digest and swallow, so it is recommended to focus on porridge and noodles. The noodles must be cooked soft and smooth. While maintaining a light diet, it is also necessary to eat less "inducing" foods, such as poultry eggs, donkey meat, beef and mutton, etc. Parents should also help their children develop good eating habits, ensuring cleanliness and health, and avoiding pickiness or partiality in food.
