Patient's question:
Boy, 13 years old, in primary school. At first, he felt a little sore in his throat. He noticed that his cough seemed to be more severe as well, and now he has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: What foods can the child eat when he has tonsillitis and a fever?Doctor's answer:
If a child suffers from tonsillitis, in addition to prompt treatment, dietary attention should also be given. First, they can eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, as fruits and vegetables are rich in vitamins, which help boost the immune system. For fruits, it is generally recommended to choose those that are neutral in nature and rich in vitamins, such as kumquats or kiwis. It is also important to choose easily digestible foods for the child, such as porridge, well-cooked noodles, or flatbread. At the same time, avoid giving them "trigger foods," such as seafood or dog meat, as these can be detrimental to the condition. Parents should also help their children develop good eating habits, ensuring cleanliness and health, and avoiding pickiness or preference for certain foods.
