Patient's question:
Boy, who is already 5 years old, initially said he had a sore throat. It was found that he also had a mild cough, and it seemed like a low fever that never subsided. Please ask: What dietary precautions should be taken for children with tonsillitis and persistent fever?Doctor's answer:
tonsillitis is currently one of the more common diseases, requiring timely treatment. while being treated, it is important to feed the child some vegetables and fruits. these foods are not only rich in vitamins and trace elements, which can help boost immunity, but they are also relatively light in flavor. for example, apples, kiwis, and other fruits have the effects of regulating qi, resolving phlegm, generating fluids, and moisturizing the lungs, which are very beneficial for treating tonsillitis. in daily diet, it is also necessary to pay attention to easy digestion and easy swallowing. therefore, it is recommended to prioritize thin porridge and noodle dishes. the noodles must be cooked to be very soft. it is also suggested to drink plenty of water. in addition, it is recommended to eat less or avoid foods that are considered "heating" such as mutton and dog meat. at the same time, it is also important to help the child correct bad habits of picky eating and poor appetite to ensure comprehensive nutrient absorption.
