Question
My son is 3 years old and has recently been experiencing symptoms like a sore throat, severe coughing, and fever. What should I pay attention to in his diet when he has tonsillitis with a high fever?
Answer
During the treatment of tonsillitis, it is important to arrange your child’s diet properly. It is recommended to eat more vegetables and fruits, which contain nutrients that can enhance immunity and promote the repair of the tonsils. Choose fruits that are neutral in nature and rich in vitamins, such as tangerines and kiwis; for daily meals, opt for easily digestible foods like congee and noodles. Additionally, drink plenty of plain water, and consume less beef, mutton, and dog meat, which can easily trigger inflammation. It is also advisable to eat seafood sparingly or not at all. In terms of lifestyle, it is important to help your child develop good habits. Apart from healthy eating, early to bed and early to rise, as well as moderate exercise, are also very important.
