Patient's question:
Boy, 9 years old, has started elementary school. At first, he said he had pain when swallowing, and it was found that his cough seemed to be more severe as well. Additionally, he now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: What should be noted in diet for children with tonsillitis and fever.Doctor's answer:
During the treatment of tonsillitis in children, it is recommended to follow a light diet. You can give your child more vegetables and fruits. The nutritional content in vegetables and fruits is relatively rich, which can help improve your child's immunity and thus aid in the healing of the tonsils. Fruits like pears and apples, for example, have the effects of clearing heat and reducing inflammation, so it's advisable to consume more of them. It is also recommended to choose easily digestible foods, such as porridge or well-cooked noodles, which are suitable for children during treatment. It is suggested to drink plenty of water. Additionally, you should eat less or avoid foods that are considered "heating" or "irritating," such as mutton and dog meat. In addition to following the doctor's advice, parents should also help their children develop good dietary and lifestyle habits, which can help them recover sooner.
