Patient's question:
Boy, 9 years old, has started elementary school. At first, he said his throat hurts, and it was noticed that his voice is a bit hoarse when he speaks. At the same time, he now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should children with tonsillitis and high fever have a reasonable diet?Doctor's answer:
During the treatment of tonsillitis, diet is also a very important aspect. It is recommended that mothers can give their children more vegetables and fruits. In addition to being light and non-irritating, these foods are also rich in nutrients, which helps to resist the disease. For example, apples, kiwis, etc., also have the effects of regulating qi, resolving phlegm, nourishing fluids, and moistening the lungs, which are very helpful for the quality of tonsillitis. In terms of dietary choices, it is best to choose easily digestible foods, such as congee and noodles, which are both good options. However, it is still important to note that spicy and irritating foods, as well as some allergenic foods, are not recommended for children during this period. In daily life, it is also important to help children develop good habits. In addition to a healthy diet, they should also maintain a regular sleep schedule, go to bed early and get up early, and engage in appropriate exercise.
