Patient's question:
Boy, 10 years old, in primary school. At first, he said he had pain when swallowing, and it was found that his cough was also quite severe, accompanied by low fever. Please ask: How should children with tonsillitis and fever have a reasonable diet?Doctor's answer:
If a child has tonsillitis, the diet should first be kept light. Vegetables and fruits should be the main focus. The reason for encouraging children to eat more vegetables and fruits is primarily to supplement vitamins and trace elements, which helps boost immunity and aid in recovery. For example, the peels of kumquats are rich in vitamin C, which has excellent anti-inflammatory effects. It is advisable to choose foods that are easy to swallow and digest, such as congee. At the same time, parents should also avoid letting their children eat spicy or irritating foods. Finally, it is important to help children develop healthy eating habits, avoiding pickiness and fussy eating, so that they can get balanced nutrition and reduce the incidence of tonsillitis.
