Patient's question:
My son is 9 years old. At first, he said his throat hurt even when he drank water. He also noticed that his cough seemed to be more severe, and he had been running a low fever. Please ask: How should children with tonsillitis and fever have a reasonable diet?Doctor's answer:
For the disease of tonsillitis in children, it is recommended to start with daily diet for regulation. Children can be encouraged to eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, as they are rich in nutritional elements that can help boost their immunity, thus aiding in the healing of tonsils. For example, the peels of kumquats, which are rich in vitamin C, have excellent anti-inflammatory effects. It is also advisable to choose easily digestible foods for children, such as thin porridge or well-cooked noodles. At the same time, it is important to avoid foods that may exacerbate symptoms, such as beef, lamb, dog meat, and seafood. Additionally, it is necessary to help children correct their picky eating and poor appetite habits to ensure comprehensive nutrient absorption.
