Please ask: If the child has tonsillitis and keeps having a fever, what should be paid attention to in diet?Doctor's answer:
If a child suffers from tonsillitis, in addition to prompt treatment, attention should also be paid to their diet. First, they can eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, as fruits and vegetables are rich in vitamins that help boost the immune system. For example, orange peels are rich in vitamin C, which has excellent anti-inflammatory effects. In daily dietary intake, it should be light, easy to digest, and easy to swallow, such as congee and noodles, which are both very good options. It is recommended to drink plenty of water.
