Patient's question:
Boy, 7 years old, has started elementary school. At first, he said he had pain when swallowing, and it was found that he also had a mild cough, and it seemed like a low fever that never went away. Question: What is a reasonable diet for a child with tonsillitis and fever?Doctor's answer:
It is very important to help your child recover from tonsillitis and return to a normal diet as soon as possible. First, they should eat more fresh vegetables and fruits. This is mainly because vegetables and fruits are not only light but also rich in various vitamins and trace elements that the body needs, which can obviously help children fight the disease. When it comes to fruits, it is recommended to choose pears, apples, etc. For vegetables, options like green vegetables, cabbage, and tomatoes are all good choices. You can choose based on your child's preferences. It is also important to choose easily digestible foods for your child, such as porridge, well-cooked noodles, or noodle skins. Additionally, it is advisable to drink plenty of plain water. However, avoid certain foods that may exacerbate the condition, such as seafood or dog meat. While maintaining a proper diet, it is also important not to be picky or biased in eating, to avoid nutritional deficiencies and weakened immunity, which may lead to recurrence.
