Question
My child is a 5-year-old boy. He initially complained of a sore throat when swallowing, and it was discovered that he had some difficulty swallowing, along with a bit of fever and lack of energy. What are the dietary points to note for pediatric tonsillitis with high fever?
Answer
Diet is also a very important aspect during the treatment of tonsillitis. It is recommended to give the child more vegetables and fruits, which are rich in vitamins and trace elements and can help boost immunity. These foods are also relatively light, such as pears, apples, tangerines, and kiwis, which are good choices. It is also suggested to choose some easily digestible foods; making porridge or cooking noodles until they are soft are very suitable for children during the treatment period. While maintaining a light diet, it is also important to eat less irritant foods such as poultry eggs, donkey meat, and mutton and beef. In addition to cooperating with the doctor, parents should also help their children develop good eating and living habits to aid in an early recovery.
