Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 4 years old. At first, he said it hurts when he swallows something. Later, it was found that he also had mild coughing, and now he has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: What are the dietary taboos for high fever in infants and young children with tonsillitis?Doctor's answer:
If a child has tonsillitis, the diet should first be kept light. Vegetables and fruits should be the main components. In addition to being light and non-irritating, these foods are also rich in nutrients, which help boost the immune system to fight the disease. For example, apples, kiwis, and other fruits have the effects of regulating qi, resolving phlegm, generating fluids, and moisturizing the lungs, which are very beneficial for treating tonsillitis. When choosing food, it's best to opt for easily digestible options, such as congee and noodles. At the same time, parents should also pay attention not to let their children eat spicy, irritating, or greasy foods. Pediatric tonsillitis can lead to complications, which are very harmful to a child's health. Therefore, parents must ensure that their children receive proper treatment.
