Patient's question:
Boy, 10 years old, in primary school. At first, he said his throat hurts. Upon observation, he has severe coughing, accompanied by low fever. Please ask: What should be noted in diet for a child with tonsillitis and high fever?Doctor's answer:
During the treatment for tonsillitis, the child's daily diet should primarily focus on light foods. It is advisable to consume more vegetables and fruits, as they are rich in nutrients that can help boost the child's immunity and aid in the healing of the tonsils. Examples of good choices include pears, apples, kumquats, and kiwis. For daily meals, opt for light, easily digestible, and easy-to-swallow foods, such as porridge and noodles. However, it is important to avoid spicy and irritating foods, as well as certain "trigger foods" during this period, as they are not recommended for the child. In addition to maintaining a proper diet, it is also essential to avoid picky eating and biased food preferences to prevent nutritional deficiencies and weakened immunity, which could lead to recurrence.
