Patient's question:
My little girl, who is 8 years old, initially said that she felt pain when swallowing things. It was later discovered that she also had mild coughing. Additionally, she now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: What are the dietary restrictions for children with tonsillitis and fever?Doctor's answer:
It is very important to help children recover from tonsillitis and resume eating as soon as possible. First, they should eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, as these are rich in vitamins that can boost the immune system. For example, pears are cooling and have properties that help reduce fever, soothe the throat, clear phlegm, and alleviate pain, which can ease the symptoms of acute tonsillitis. In daily meals, it is advisable to choose easily digestible foods, such as porridge and noodles. Additionally, spicy and irritating foods like hot pot and spicy noodle soup, as well as "trigger foods" like beef, lamb, and seafood, should be avoided. While maintaining a proper diet, it is also important not to be picky or biased in eating to prevent nutritional deficiencies and weakened immunity, which could lead to recurrence.
