Patient's question:
My little boy is 2 years old. At first, he said he had pain when swallowing, and I noticed that his cough seemed to be more severe as well. Now, he has high fever that won't go down. I would like to ask: What are the dietary restrictions for children with tonsillitis and persistent fever?Doctor's answer:
During the treatment of tonsillitis, diet is also a very important aspect. It is recommended that mothers encourage their children to eat more vegetables and fruits. These foods are not only rich in vitamins and trace elements, which can help boost immunity, but they are also relatively light and easy to digest. Fruits like pears and apples, for example, have the effects of clearing heat and reducing inflammation and can be consumed more frequently. For staple foods, it is advisable to choose softer options such as porridge or noodles to avoid affecting swallowing or worsening constipation. However, it is important to note that spicy and irritating foods, as well as certain "trigger foods" (such as foods that may exacerbate symptoms), should not be given to children during this period. Children with tonsillitis may experience complications, which can be very harmful to their health. Therefore, parents must ensure that their children receive proper treatment.
