Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 6 years old. At first, he said that even drinking water made his throat hurt. He also had mild coughing, and now he has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: What should be noted in the diet for children with tonsillitis and low-grade fever?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, as many fruits have the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying, and are rich in vitamins, which can help improve immunity and resist diseases. For example, pears are cool in nature and have the effects of reducing fever, soothing the throat, resolving phlegm, and relieving pain, which can alleviate the symptoms of acute tonsillitis in the throat. It is also important to choose easily digestible foods for children, such as porridge, well-cooked noodles, and noodle skins. Additionally, it is important to drink plenty of plain water and eat less "heating" foods like beef, lamb, and dog meat. Seafood is also best avoided or eaten in moderation. Diet is very important for the treatment of tonsillitis, so pay close attention.
