Question
My daughter is 2 years old. Initially, she felt pain when drinking water, and it seemed she had difficulty swallowing. Moreover, she seemed to have a low-grade fever that hasn’t gone away. What are the dietary restrictions for high fever in children with tonsillitis?
Answer
Diet is also a very important aspect during the treatment of tonsillitis. It is recommended that mothers give their children more vegetables and fruits, as many fruits have the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying, and are rich in vitamins, which can help boost immunity and resist diseases. Choices include pears, watermelons, tangerines, and pomegranates. For vegetables, green leafy vegetables and tomatoes are good options. It is also suggested to choose easily digestible foods; cooking porridge or softening noodles can be very suitable for children during treatment. At the same time, it is absolutely forbidden to give them foods that can exacerbate the condition, such as seafood and dog meat, which are detrimental to the illness. In daily life, it’s also important to help children develop good habits. This includes not only a healthy diet but also early to bed and early to rise, as well as moderate exercise.
