Patient's question:
My son is 4 years old. At first, he said that even drinking water made his throat hurt. Then, he was found to have a slightly hoarse voice when speaking, accompanied by a low fever. Please ask: What dietary precautions should be taken for children with tonsillitis and high fever?Doctor's answer:
It is very important to help children recover from tonsillitis and resume their normal diet as soon as possible. First, they should eat more fresh vegetables and fruits. In addition to being light and non-irritating, these foods are also rich in nutrients, which can help boost the immune system and fight off illness. When it comes to fruits, it is generally recommended to choose those that are neutral in nature and rich in vitamins, such as kumquats or kiwis. In daily meals, opt for easily digestible foods like congee or noodles. Additionally, avoid spicy and irritating foods, such as spicy hot pot or hot pot, as well as "trigger foods" like beef, lamb, or seafood. Finally, it is important to help children develop healthy eating habits, avoiding picky eating and food preferences, so that they can get a balanced diet and reduce the incidence of tonsillitis.
