Question
A 11-year-old boy, in elementary school, initially complained of a sore throat, accompanied by a slight cough and a low-grade fever. What are the dietary restrictions for infants and young children with high fever pharyngitis?
Answer
During the treatment of pharyngitis, it is important to arrange a reasonable diet for children. Firstly, give them more vegetables and fruits, as many fruits have a cooling and detoxifying effect, are rich in vitamins, and can help boost immunity to resist diseases. Options include pears, kiwis, and tangerines, which have cooling and detoxifying properties. At the same time, pay attention to easy-to-digest foods such as porridge and noodles; noodles should be cooked soft. Moreover, never give children stimulants like seafood and dog meat, as these can be detrimental to the condition. Finally, help children develop good eating habits to avoid picky eating and reduce the incidence of pharyngitis.
