Patient's question:
Boy, he is already 3 years old. At first, he felt a sore throat when speaking and noticed that his cough seemed to be more severe as well. Additionally, he now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should infants and young children with tonsillitis and high fever have a rational diet?Doctor's answer:
For the disease of tonsillitis in children, it is recommended to start with daily diet for regulation. Children can be encouraged to eat more fresh vegetables and fruits. Fruits and vegetables are rich in vitamins and trace elements, and they are relatively light, so they are very helpful for the treatment of the disease. For example, the peels of kumquats are rich in vitamin C, which has a good anti-inflammatory effect. In daily diet, easily digestible foods should be chosen, such as congee and noodles. Foods like beef, lamb, poultry, eggs, and seafood, which are considered "heating" foods, should be avoided during this stage. Of course, this also includes spicy and pungent foods like hot pot and spicy soup. Finally, parents should help children develop good habits, maintain a regular schedule, engage in appropriate exercise, and improve their immunity. This can greatly reduce the incidence of the disease.
