Patient's question:
Boy, 12 years old, in primary school. At first, he said his throat hurt. It was found that his cough seemed to be quite severe as well, and it seemed like his low fever hadn't gone away. Please ask: What should children eat during the treatment for tonsillitis and low fever?Doctor's answer:
If a child suffers from tonsillitis, in addition to prompt treatment, attention should also be paid to diet. First, they can eat more fresh fruits and vegetables. This is mainly because vegetables and fruits are not only light but also rich in various vitamins and trace elements needed by the human body, which can obviously help children resist the disease. Options include pears, watermelons, kumquats, and pomegranates. For vegetables, green leafy greens and tomatoes are excellent choices. Daily diet should also focus on easy digestion and easy swallowing, so it is recommended to consume porridge and noodle dishes. The noodles must be cooked soft and smooth. Foods like beef, lamb, poultry eggs, and seafood, which are considered "heating" or "irritating" foods, should be avoided during this period. This also includes spicy and pungent foods like hot pot and spicy noodles. At the same time, it is important to help children correct their bad habits of picky eating and poor appetite to ensure comprehensive nutrient absorption.
