Question
A 7-year-old boy, in elementary school, recently complained of pain when swallowing water and a severe cough. He also has a fever and lacks energy. What are the dietary restrictions for children with tonsillitis and high fever?
Answer
During the treatment of tonsillitis in children, it is important to pay attention to a light and easy-to-digest diet. It is recommended to increase the intake of vegetables and fruits, as they are rich in vitamins that help boost the immune system. Choose fruits that are mild, easy to swallow, and digestible, such as tangerines and kiwis. For staple foods, opt for soft items like congee. Avoid irritant foods and irritants such as spicy foods, beef and mutton, and seafood. In addition to medical treatment, parents should also cultivate good eating and living habits to help the child recover as soon as possible.
