Question
My child is a 7-year-old boy. He just started to have a sore throat, accompanied by slight coughing, and now he has a persistent high fever. What dietary precautions should be taken for children with tonsillitis and low fever?
Answer
It is essential to promptly treat tonsillitis in children. Additionally, daily diet should include more vegetables and fruits, which are rich in nutrients and can effectively enhance the child’s immunity. Options include pears, kiwis, and tangerines, which also have the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying. It is also recommended to choose easily digestible foods for the child, such as slightly thinner porridge or well-cooked noodles. While maintaining a light diet, it is important to avoid foods that may trigger allergic reactions, such as poultry eggs, donkey meat, and beef and mutton. Complications of tonsillitis in children can be very detrimental to their health, so parents must help their children receive proper treatment.
