Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 3 years old. At first, he said his throat hurts. It was found that his voice is a little hoarse when he speaks. At the same time, his high fever has not subsided yet. Please ask: What are the dietary taboos for children's tonsillitis and high fever?Doctor's answer:
During the treatment for tonsillitis, the daily diet should primarily consist of light foods. You can consume more vegetables and fruits, as they are rich in vitamins and trace elements and are relatively light, which is very beneficial for the treatment of the illness. You can choose foods like pears, watermelons, kumquats, and pomegranates. For vegetables, leafy greens and tomatoes are good options. You can also feed your child some easily digestible foods, such as thin porridge or well-cooked noodles. Foods like beef, lamb, poultry, eggs, and seafood, as well as and hot pots, should be avoided during this period. While maintaining a proper diet, it's also important to avoid pickiness and to prevent nutritional deficiencies and weakened immunity, which could lead to recurrence.
