Patient's question:
Boy, he is already 7 years old. At first, he felt a sore throat when speaking and noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse. Additionally, he had a slight fever and lacked energy. Please ask: When children with tonsillitis have a fever, what dietary precautions should be taken?Doctor's answer:
For the disease of tonsillitis in children, it is recommended to start with daily diet for regulation. Children can be encouraged to eat more fresh 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 functions of reducing fever, soothing the throat, resolving phlegm, and relieving pain, which can alleviate the symptoms of acute tonsillitis in the throat. In daily diet, easily digestible foods such as porridge and noodles should be chosen. Foods like beef, mutton, poultry eggs, and seafood, which are considered "heating" or "irritating" foods, should be avoided during this period. Of course, spicy and pungent foods like hot pot and spicy soup should also be excluded. Finally, it is important to help children develop good eating habits, avoiding pickiness and partiality, so that they can obtain comprehensive nutrition and reduce the incidence of tonsillitis.
