Question
My child is a 3-year-old boy. Initially, he said his throat hurt, and I noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse when he spoke, and it seemed like he had a low fever that never went away. What should be noted about diet when a child has tonsillitis with fever?
Answer
While treating pediatric tonsillitis, dietary considerations are also of great importance. It is generally recommended to give children more fruits and vegetables, as they are rich in vitamins that help boost the immune system. For example, the peel of tangerines contains a lot of vitamin C, which has excellent anti-inflammatory effects. You can also choose some easily digestible foods for your child, such as slightly thinner porridge or well-cooked noodles. At the same time, parents should pay attention not to let children eat spicy and stimulating foods and drinks. Complications of pediatric tonsillitis can be very harmful to a child’s health, so parents must help their children receive proper treatment.
