What should children with tonsillitis and high fever pay attention to in their diet?

Patient's question:

My little girl, she's 3 years old. At first, she said it hurt when she swallowed things. Then, we noticed she had severe coughing. Now, she has a high fever that won't go down. Could you please tell me: what should be noted in the diet for a child with tonsillitis and high fever?

Doctor's answer:

If a child gets 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. Vegetables and fruits are relatively rich in nutrients, which can help improve the child's immunity well. For fruits, it is recommended to choose pears, apples, etc. As for vegetables, greens, cabbage, tomatoes, etc., are all good options. You can choose based on your child's preferences. It is important to choose foods that are easy to swallow and digest, such as porridge, which is a good choice. At the same time, never give the child "trigger foods," such as seafood or dog meat, as these are not beneficial for the condition. Finally, parents should help their child develop good habits, maintain a regular schedule, engage in appropriate exercise, and improve their immunity. This can greatly reduce the incidence of the disease.
