Patient's question:
My son is 8 years old. At first, he felt a sore throat when speaking and noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. Additionally, it seemed like his low-grade fever never subsided. Could you please advise on the dietary precautions for children with tonsillitis and high fever?Doctor's answer:
During the treatment for tonsillitis, the child's daily diet should primarily be light. It is advisable to consume more vegetables and fruits, as they are not only light but also rich in various vitamins and trace elements needed by the body, which can help the child resist the disease. Examples of good choices include pears, apples, kumquats, and kiwis. It is also important to choose easily digestible foods for the child, such as porridge, well-cooked noodles, and noodle wrappers. However, it is necessary to avoid foods and some during this period. Parents should also help the child develop good eating habits, ensuring cleanliness and health, without being picky or biased in their food choices.
