Patient's question:
Boy, 10 years old, has started elementary school. At first, he felt a sore throat when speaking and noticed that his cough seemed to be getting worse. Additionally, he now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should children with tonsillitis and high fever have a reasonable diet?Doctor's answer:
It is essential to promptly treat a child for tonsillitis. Additionally, the daily diet should include more vegetables and fruits. The reason for encouraging children to consume more vegetables and fruits is primarily to supplement vitamins and trace elements, which helps boost immunity and facilitates a quicker recovery. For example, the peels of kumquats are rich in vitamin C, which has excellent anti-inflammatory effects. It is also advisable to choose easily digestible foods for the child, such as thin porridge or well-cooked noodles. At the same time, parents should ensure that the child avoids spicy and irritating foods. Complications may arise from pediatric tonsillitis, which can be very harmful to the child's health. Therefore, parents must help their children receive proper treatment.
