Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 4 years old. At first, he said his throat hurts. I noticed that his voice is a bit hoarse when he speaks, and he also has a slight fever and lacks energy. Please ask: How should young children with tonsillitis and fever have a reasonable diet?Doctor's answer:
If a child suffers from tonsillitis, it is very necessary to seek medical attention immediately. At the same time, parents should also pay attention to giving their child more vegetables and fruits. Fruits and vegetables are rich in vitamins and trace elements, and they are relatively light in flavor, so they are very helpful in treating the illness. For example, fruits like pears and apples have the effects of clearing heat and reducing inflammation, so they can be eaten more. In terms of diet, it is recommended to choose foods that are easier to digest, such as well-cooked noodles and porridge, which are both good options. Foods like beef, lamb, poultry, eggs, and seafood, which are considered "heating" foods, should be avoided during this period. Of course, this also includes spicy and irritating foods like hot pot and spicy noodles. In addition to following the doctor's advice, parents should also help their child develop good eating and living habits, which can help them recover sooner.
