Patient's question:
Boy, already 9 years old. At first, he said it hurt to swallow things. It was found that swallowing seemed a bit difficult, and he also had a slight fever and no energy. Please ask: What should be noted in the diet for children with tonsillitis and fever?Doctor's answer:
Children with tonsillitis are advised to seek timely medical treatment. In terms of diet, vegetables and fruits are relatively light and are a good choice during the treatment period. In addition to being light and non-irritating, these foods are also rich in nutrients, which help boost the immune system and fight off illness. Fruits like pears and apples, for example, have cooling and anti-inflammatory properties and can be consumed in larger quantities. It is also recommended to choose easily digestible foods, such as porridge or well-cooked noodles, which are suitable for children during treatment. Foods like beef, lamb, poultry, eggs, and seafood, which are considered "heating" or "irritating," should be avoided during this period. This also includes spicy and irritating foods like hot pot and spicy noodles. Finally, parents should help their children develop good habits, maintain a regular sleep schedule, engage in moderate exercise, and improve their immunity, which can significantly reduce the incidence of illness.
