Question
My son is 7 years old. Initially, he had a slight pain in his throat, and I noticed that his coughing seemed more severe, accompanied by a low-grade fever. What should a child not eat when they have tonsillitis and a fever?
Answer
It is recommended that the mother take the child to seek treatment promptly. In terms of diet, vegetables and fruits are relatively light and are good choices during the treatment period. Vegetables and fruits are not only light but also rich in various vitamins and trace elements needed by the body, which can help the child resist the disease. When choosing fruits, avoid those that are too cold. You can choose some neutral ones, such as apples and kiwis. At the same time, it is recommended to choose foods that are easy to digest, such as porridge or soft noodles, which are very suitable for children during the treatment period. Additionally, it is important to drink plenty of water, eat less beef, mutton, dog meat, and other foods that can trigger inflammation, and try to eat less or no seafood. Also, help the child correct the bad habit of picky eating and ensure comprehensive absorption of nutrition.
