Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 7 years old. At first, he said it hurts when he swallows, and he has noticed mild coughing. Now, he has a high fever that won't go down. Could you please tell me: what should children with tonsillitis and high fever avoid eating?Doctor's answer:
During the treatment of tonsillitis, it is necessary to reasonably arrange the child's diet. First, you can let the child eat more vegetables and fruits. Vegetables and fruits are relatively rich in nutrients, which can help improve the child's immunity well. For fruits, we generally recommend choosing those that are neutral in nature and rich in vitamins, such as honeysuckle and kiwifruit. It is also important to choose easily digestible foods for the child, such as porridge, well-cooked noodles, and noodle skins. Additionally, it is important to drink plenty of boiled water and eat less foods that are considered "heating" foods, such as beef, lamb, and dog meat. Seafood should also be eaten less or avoided. At the same time, it is also necessary to help the child correct bad habits of picky eating and poor appetite to ensure comprehensive nutrient absorption.
