Patient's question:
Boy, 10 years old, has started elementary school. At first, he said his throat hurts. It was found that his voice is a bit hoarse when he speaks, and now he has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: What are the dietary taboos for children with tonsillitis and high fever?Doctor's answer:
If a child suffers from tonsillitis, in addition to prompt treatment, dietary attention should also be given. First, they can eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, as the nutritional content in vegetables and fruits is rich, which can help boost the child's immunity and thus aid in the healing of the tonsils. For example, the peels of kumquats are rich in vitamin C, which has excellent anti-inflammatory effects. In terms of diet, it is recommended to choose foods that are soft and easy to digest, such as well-cooked noodles and porridge, which are both good options. At the same time, it is important to avoid foods that may aggravate the condition, such as beef, lamb, dog meat, and seafood, as these can worsen symptoms. Finally, it is also necessary to help the child develop good eating habits.
