Question
Dear parents, my daughter is currently 8 years old. She initially experienced a sore throat while speaking and had severe coughing. Now she has a persistent high fever. What types of food can a child with tonsillitis and fever consume more of?
Answer
If a child has tonsillitis, it is recommended that parents take their child to the doctor promptly. In terms of diet, it is suggested to eat lightly, consume more vegetables and fruits to supplement vitamins and trace elements, and boost the immune system. Opt for fruits that are neutral in nature and rich in vitamins, such as tangerines and kiwis. Easily digestible foods like congee and noodles are suitable, while avoiding foods like beef, mutton, poultry eggs, and seafood that may trigger the condition. Also, avoid spicy foods like Sichuan hotpot. Meanwhile, help your child develop good eating habits.
