Question
My daughter is 6 years old and has recently been experiencing a sore throat and hoarse voice, accompanied by a low-grade fever. I want to know what foods infants and children can eat when they have high fever due to tonsillitis?
Answer
Tonsillitis is a common disease, and during treatment, it is recommended to feed children vegetables and fruits that are light, rich in vitamins and trace elements, and help fight off the illness. For instance, the peel of kumquats is rich in vitamin C and has anti-inflammatory properties. It is suggested to choose soft, easily digestible foods such as cooked noodles and congee, and avoid eating foods like beef, mutton, dog meat, and seafood that may exacerbate symptoms. Maintaining a balanced diet and avoiding picky eating habits can help reduce the incidence of tonsillitis.
