Patient's question:
My son is 5 years old. At first, he said he had pain when swallowing, and I noticed he had mild coughing. At the same time, he had low fever. Please ask: What is the reasonable diet for a child with tonsillitis and high fever?Doctor's answer:
During the treatment of tonsillitis, it is necessary to arrange a reasonable diet for the child. First, the child should be encouraged to eat more vegetables and fruits. The nutritional content in vegetables and fruits is rich, which can help improve the child's immunity and thus aid in the healing of the tonsils. Options like pears, kiwis, and honeysuckle are recommended, as they also have the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying. In terms of dietary choices, it is best to opt for easily digestible foods, such as congee and noodles, which are excellent choices. Additionally, it is important to drink plenty of plain water and avoid foods that may exacerbate the condition, such as beef, mutton, and dog meat. Seafood should also be consumed in moderation or avoided altogether. Parents should also help their children develop good eating habits, ensuring cleanliness and health, avoiding pickiness and partiality in food choices.
