Patient's question:
Boy, 10 years old, has started elementary school. At first, he felt pain in his throat even when drinking water. He noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse when speaking. Additionally, he had a low fever. Please ask: What should the child eat during the treatment for tonsillitis and low fever?Doctor's answer:
During the treatment of tonsillitis in children, it is recommended to follow a light diet. Encourage the child to eat more vegetables and fruits, as they are not only light but also rich in various vitamins and trace elements needed by the body, which can obviously help the child resist the disease. When choosing fruits, it is generally advisable to select those that are neutral in nature and rich in vitamins, such as kumquats or kiwis. Daily meals should also be easy to digest and swallow, so it is recommended to focus on foods like porridge and noodles. The noodles must be cooked to be soft and smooth. While following a light diet, it is also important to avoid foods that may exacerbate the condition, such as poultry eggs, donkey meat, beef, and lamb. In daily life, it is also important to help the child develop good habits. In addition to a healthy diet, it is also necessary to maintain a regular sleep schedule (going to bed early and waking up early) and engage in appropriate exercise.
