Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 7 years old. At first, he felt a sore throat even when drinking water, and he noticed that his cough was quite severe. Also, he had been slightly feverish for a while. Could you please tell me: what are the dietary restrictions for children with tonsillitis and high fever?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, in addition to prompt treatment, attention should also be paid to diet. First, they can eat more fresh fruits and vegetables. The reason for encouraging children to eat more fruits and vegetables is mainly to replenish vitamins and trace elements, which help boost immunity and aid in recovery. For example, orange peels, which are rich in vitamin C, have strong anti-inflammatory effects. It is also recommended to choose easily digestible foods, such as porridge or well-cooked noodles, which are suitable for children during treatment. It is advisable to drink plenty of water. Additionally, they should eat less or avoid foods that may trigger inflammation, such as mutton or dog meat. Parents should also help their children develop good eating habits, ensuring cleanliness and health while avoiding pickiness or bias in food choices.
