Patient's question:
My little girl is 7 years old. At first, she said her throat hurt, and it was found that her voice was a bit hoarse when she spoke. Also, it seems like a low fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: what dietary precautions should be taken for children with tonsillitis and fever?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that parents take their children to seek medical treatment promptly if they have tonsillitis. In terms of diet, vegetables and fruits are relatively light and are a good choice during the treatment period. Many fruits have the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying, and they are also rich in vitamins, which can help boost immunity and resist diseases. For example, the peels of kumquats are rich in vitamin C, which has a good anti-inflammatory effect. It is advisable to choose foods that are easy to swallow and digest, such as congee, which are excellent options. At the same time, it is absolutely necessary not to give the child any "trigger foods," such as seafood or dog meat, as these can be detrimental to the condition. Finally, it is also important to help the child develop good eating habits.
