Patient's question:
Boy, 7 years old, has started primary school. At first, he said that even drinking water with his throat felt painful. He noticed that his cough seemed to be more severe as well, and he had a slight fever and lacked energy. Please ask: What are the dietary restrictions for children with tonsillitis and high fever?Doctor's answer:
During the treatment for tonsillitis, the child's daily diet should primarily be light. They can consume more vegetables and fruits, as many fruits have the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying, and are rich in vitamins, which can help boost immunity and resist diseases. We generally recommend choosing fruits that are neutral in nature and rich in vitamins, such as kumquats or kiwis. It is advisable to select foods that are easy to swallow and digest, such as congee, which are excellent choices. Additionally, and spicy foods like hot pot or spicy noodles, as well as allergenic foods like beef, lamb, and seafood, should not be given to the child. For the treatment of tonsillitis, in addition to following the doctor's advice, parents should also help the child develop good eating and living habits, which can aid in early recovery.
