Question
My child is a 6-year-old boy. He started to complain of a sore throat and was found to have a severe cough. He now has a persistent high fever. What kind of food can a child with tonsillitis eat when they always have a fever?
Answer
Infants and toddlers are prone to tonsillitis, so it is important to seek medical treatment as soon as possible. It is recommended to consume light vegetables and fruits as the main diet, such as pears and apples, which have cooling and anti-inflammatory properties and can enhance immunity. Easy-to-digest foods like congee and noodles can be chosen, and spicy and stimulating foods should be avoided. Parents need to help their children develop good eating habits to ensure adequate nutrient absorption.
