Question
A 10-year-old boy, a primary school student, initially felt a sore throat, accompanied by severe coughing, and now has symptoms of persistent high fever. What dietary arrangements should be made for a child with tonsillitis during a high fever?
Answer
Once tonsillitis is detected, it is important to seek appropriate treatment for the child immediately. In daily diet, it is recommended to increase the intake of vegetables and fruits to supplement vitamins and trace elements, thereby enhancing immunity and promoting recovery. For example, the peel of tangerines contains abundant vitamin C, which has good anti-inflammatory effects. Additionally, choosing easily digestible foods such as thin porridge or well-cooked noodles is also a suitable option. At the same time, parents should avoid allowing children to eat spicy or irritant food, as tonsillitis in children may lead to complications that threaten their health. Therefore, parents need to assist children in receiving proper treatment.
