Patient's question:
My little girl, she's 9 years old. At first, she had a slight sore throat, and I noticed it accompanied by mild coughing. Also, she had a bit of fever and wasn't feeling well. Could you please tell me what dietary precautions are important for children with tonsillitis and high fever?Doctor's answer:
Children with tonsillitis are advised to take their children to the doctor for timely treatment. In terms of diet, vegetables and fruits are relatively light and are a good choice during the treatment period. In addition to being light and non-irritating, these foods are also rich in nutrients, which helps to resist the disease. However, when choosing fruits, it is important to avoid those that are too cold. You can opt for some neutral ones, such as apples or kiwis. In terms of dietary choices, it is best to choose easily digestible options, such as congee or noodles. It is also important to drink plenty of plain water. However, foods that may exacerbate the condition, such as seafood or dog meat, should be avoided. Children with tonsillitis may experience complications, which can be very harmful to their health. Therefore, parents must help their children receive proper treatment.
