Patient's question:
Boy, already 2 years old. At first, he said his throat hurts. It was found that it is accompanied by mild cough, and at the same time, it seems like a low fever that hasn't gone away. Please ask: How should young children with tonsillitis and high fever have a reasonable diet?Doctor's answer:
During the treatment for tonsillitis, the daily diet should primarily be light. It's advisable to consume more vegetables and fruits, as they are rich in vitamins that can help boost the immune system and alleviate symptoms. For example, the peels of kumquats, which are abundant in vitamin C, have excellent anti-inflammatory properties. In terms of dietary choices, it's best to opt for easily digestible foods, such as congee and noodles. Meanwhile, parents should also ensure that their children avoid spicy, irritating, and greasy foods. Additionally, it's important to help children develop healthy eating habits, avoiding pickiness and fussy eating, to ensure a balanced diet and reduce the incidence of tonsillitis.
