Question
My son, who is five years old, initially felt pain in his throat while swallowing water, along with hoarseness and symptoms such as low-grade fever and lack of energy. What should be eaten during the treatment of high fever in children with tonsillitis?
Answer
Dietary management recommendations for children with tonsillitis start with everyday diet:
- It is recommended to consume fresh vegetables and fruits: rich in vitamins and trace elements, which help to boost immunity, while being light and easy to digest. For example, fruits like pears and apples have the effect of clearing heat and eliminating inflammation, and can be eaten more.
- Choose staple foods that are soft and easy to swallow: such as congee and noodles, to avoid affecting swallowing or causing constipation, which may worsen the condition.
- Avoid consuming foods like seafood and dog meat, as they can hinder your recovery from illness.
- Cultivate good eating habits: In addition to dietary adjustments, it is also important to help children cultivate good eating habits, which are beneficial for disease recovery and future health growth.
