Patient's question:
My son is 6 years old. At first, he had a slightly sore throat, and I noticed it accompanied by mild coughing. Also, he had a slight fever and wasn't feeling well. Could you please tell me: what are the dietary restrictions for children with tonsillitis and high 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. The reason for encouraging children to eat more vegetables and fruits is mainly to supplement vitamins and trace elements, help improve immunity, and recover as soon as possible. Options such as pears, kiwis, and honeysuckle can be chosen, which also have the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying. In terms of dietary choices, it is best to opt for easily digestible foods, such as congee and noodles, which are excellent choices. At the same time, it is absolutely necessary not to give children any "trigger foods," such as seafood or dog meat, as these are detrimental to the condition. While maintaining a proper diet, it is also important to avoid picky or biased eating habits to prevent nutritional deficiencies and weakened resistance, which could lead to recurrence.
