Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 5 years old. At first, he said it hurts when he swallows something, and I noticed that his cough seems to be more severe as well. Additionally, he has had a slightly feverish temperature for quite some time. I would like to ask: What are the dietary precautions for children with tonsillitis and fever?Doctor's answer:
It is essential to promptly treat tonsillitis in children. Additionally, their daily diet should include more vegetables and fruits. These foods are not only rich in vitamins and trace elements but can also help boost immunity. Moreover, they are relatively light and easy to digest. However, when choosing fruits, it is important to avoid those that are too cold or cooling in nature. Opt for fruits that are neutral in properties, such as apples or kiwis. You can also give your child some easily digestible foods, like thin porridge or well-cooked noodles. At the same time, parents should ensure that their children avoid spicy, irritating, and greasy foods. Finally, it is crucial to help children develop good eating habits.
