Patient's question:
Boy, 10 years old, has started primary school. At first, he had a slightly sore throat, and later discovered it was accompanied by mild coughing and low-grade fever. Please ask: If the child has tonsillitis and fever, what dietary precautions should be taken?Doctor's answer:
During the treatment of tonsillitis, diet is also a very important factor. It is recommended that mothers can let their children eat more vegetables and fruits. In addition to being light and non-irritating, these foods are also rich in nutrients, which helps to resist the disease. For example, pears, apples, kumquats, and kiwis are all good choices. In terms of dietary choices, it is best to opt for easily digestible options, such as congee and noodles. Additionally, it is important to drink plenty of plain water on a daily basis. However, foods that may exacerbate the condition, such as seafood and dog meat, should be avoided. Finally, parents should help their children develop good habits, maintain a regular schedule, engage in appropriate exercise, and enhance their immunity, which can significantly reduce the incidence of the disease.
