Patient's question:
My little girl is 9 years old. At first, she had a slightly sore throat, and then I noticed she had a mild cough. She also had a low fever and wasn't feeling well. Could you please tell me what foods are good for children with tonsillitis and low fever?Doctor's answer:
Children's tonsils are very prone to inflammation. If they occur, they should be examined and treated as early as possible. In terms of diet, it is recommended to focus on light foods such as vegetables and fruits. These foods are not only rich in vitamins and trace elements, which can help boost immunity, but they are also relatively light in flavor. However, when choosing fruits, it is important to avoid those that are too cold or cooling in nature. Opt for those that are neutral in nature, such as apples or kiwis. Daily diet should also be easy to digest and swallow, so it is advisable to consume foods like porridge and noodles. The noodles must be cooked to be soft and smooth. Additionally, it is important to drink plenty of plain water. However, avoid certain "trigger foods" such as seafood or dog meat. 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 (early to bed and early to rise) and engage in appropriate exercise.
