Question
My son is 8 years old. He recently started feeling a sore throat while speaking and noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. At the same time, he seems to have a low-grade fever that hasn’t subsided. What should I pay attention to in terms of diet for children with high fever and tonsillitis?
Answer
During the treatment of tonsillitis in children, it is important to maintain a light diet, focusing on vegetables and fruits rich in various vitamins and trace elements. Choices such as pears, apples, tangerines, and kiwis are good options. Opt for easily digestible foods like porridge, cooked noodles, and dumpling wrappers. Avoid spicy and irritant foods as well as allergens. Develop good eating habits, maintain hygiene and health, and avoid picky eating and dietary preferences.
