Question
Dear parents, my daughter is currently 8 years old. She initially felt a sore throat while speaking and had severe coughing. Now she has a high fever that doesn’t seem to go away. What types of food can a child with tonsillitis eat when they have a fever?
Answer
It is recommended that parents take their child to the doctor promptly if they have tonsillitis. In terms of diet, it is suggested to eat light and choose more vegetables and fruits to supplement vitamins and trace elements, thereby enhancing immunity. It is recommended to choose fruits that are neutral in nature and rich in vitamins, such as tangerines and kiwis. Easily digestible foods like congee and noodles are good choices. It is advisable to avoid eating foods like beef, mutton, poultry eggs, and seafood, which are considered to be stimulating. Also, spicy foods like hotpot should be avoided, and it is important to help the child develop good eating habits.
