Question
My daughter is 8 years old and has a sore throat when drinking water, severe cough, and a persistent fever. What should I pay attention to in terms of feeding her during pediatric tonsillitis and fever?
Answer
Pediatric tonsillitis is one of the common childhood illnesses. During the treatment process, it is recommended to make vegetables and fruits the mainstay of the diet, as they are rich in vitamins and trace elements, which help to enhance immunity. It is suggested to choose fruits that are neutral in nature and rich in vitamins, such as tangerines and kiwis, as well as easily digestible foods like congee and soft noodles. Avoid eating foods like beef, mutton, dog meat, and seafood that may worsen the symptoms. Also, cultivate good eating habits and maintain hygiene and healthy dietary practices.
