Diet During Fever Period for Children with tonsillitis

Question

My daughter is 5 years old and has recently been experiencing throat pain, coughing, and a low-grade fever. What should a child with tonsillitis eat during their fever period?

Answer

It is very important to seek medical attention immediately when a child has tonsillitis. At the same time, parents should pay attention to feeding their child plenty of vegetables and fruits, as fruits rich in vitamins can help boost the immune system. For example, pears have the effects of reducing fever, soothing the throat, resolving phlegm, and relieving pain. The diet should be light and easy to digest, such as congee or noodles, and avoid spicy and irritant foods like hotpot, beef and mutton, seafood, etc. Additionally, helping children develop good habits, maintaining a healthy diet, getting enough sleep, and engaging in moderate exercise are all very important.
