Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 4 years old. At first, he felt pain in his throat even when drinking water. He also had severe coughing and low fever. Please ask: What foods can children with tonsillitis and high fever eat?Doctor's answer:
For the disease of tonsillitis in children, it is recommended to start with daily diet adjustments. Encourage children to eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, as they are rich in nutritional elements that can help boost their immunity and thus aid in the healing of tonsils. For example, pears are cooling in nature and have the effects of reducing fever, soothing the throat, expelling phlegm, and relieving pain, which can alleviate the symptoms of acute tonsillitis such as throat discomfort. It is also important to choose easily digestible foods for children, such as porridge, well-cooked noodles, and noodle skins. While maintaining a light diet, it is advisable to eat fewer "trigger foods," such as poultry, eggs, donkey meat, beef, and lamb. Parents should also help their children develop good eating habits, ensuring cleanliness and health, avoiding pickiness and partiality in food choices.
