Patient's question:
My son is 7 years old. At first, he said his throat hurt even when he drank water, and he also had mild coughing. Additionally, he had a slight fever and wasn't feeling well. Could you please advise on dietary precautions for tonsillitis and high fever in children?Doctor's answer:
It is very important to help your child recover from tonsillitis and resume a normal diet as soon as possible. First, they should eat more fresh 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. For fruits, it is recommended to choose pears, apples, etc. As for vegetables, options like green vegetables, cabbage, and tomatoes are all good choices. You can select based on your child's preferences. It is also important to choose easily digestible foods, such as porridge, well-cooked noodles, and noodle wrappers. While maintaining a light diet, it is advisable to avoid certain foods that may exacerbate the condition, such as poultry, eggs, donkey meat, beef, and lamb. In daily life, it is also important to help your child develop good habits. In addition to a healthy diet, they should also maintain a regular sleep schedule (going to bed early and waking up early) and engage in appropriate exercise.
