Patient's question:
My son is 2 years old. At first, he had a slightly sore throat, and I noticed that his cough seemed to be getting worse as well. Now, he has a high fever that won't go down. Could you please tell me what dietary precautions should be taken when a child has tonsillitis and a fever?Doctor's answer:
For the disease of tonsillitis in children, it is recommended to start with daily diet for regulation. Children can be encouraged to eat more fresh vegetables and fruits. The reason for encouraging children to eat more vegetables and fruits is mainly to supplement vitamins and trace elements, which helps to improve immunity and facilitate faster recovery. Fruits like pears and apples have the effects of clearing heat and reducing inflammation, so they can be eaten more frequently. Daily diet should consist of easily digestible foods, such as porridge and noodles. At the same time, parents should also pay attention not to let children eat stimulating, spicy, or greasy foods. Parents should also help children develop good eating habits, ensuring cleanliness and health, avoiding pickiness and partiality in food choices.
