Patient's question:
My boy is 5 years old. At first, he felt a sore throat when speaking and noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse. Additionally, he had a slight fever and lacked energy. Could you please tell me: What are the dietary restrictions for children with tonsillitis and fever?Doctor's answer:
While treating children's tonsillitis, dietary care is also crucial. It is generally recommended to give children more fruits and vegetables, as they are rich in vitamins that help boost immunity. For example, the peels of kumquats are rich in vitamin C, which has excellent anti-inflammatory effects. In terms of diet, it is advisable to choose foods that are soft and easy to digest, such as well-cooked noodles and porridge. Additionally, spicy and irritating foods like hot pot and spicy noodles, as well as "trigger foods" like beef, lamb, and seafood, should be avoided. It is also important to help children overcome picky eating and poor appetite habits to ensure comprehensive nutrient absorption.
