Children with sore throat and fever should be careful about their diet

Children are still in the stage of physical growth and development, and their organs are relatively sensitive to external stimuli. Once they get angry, they are likely to have symptoms such as pharyngitis and fever. In this case, many babies will choose drug treatment. Experts say that drug treatment works quickly, but the side effects are also relatively large. It is best to choose diet therapy for treatment, such as eating more pears, honey, lemons, persimmons, monk fruit, water chestnuts, etc. In addition, the diet should be light, and do not feed the baby too much greasy food; give the baby more water, especially before and after exercise, and finally remind the baby to do appropriate physical exercise to improve his own immunity.

1. Snow pear : Snow pear has a high water content and can clear and moisten the lungs, relieve cough and reduce phlegm, reduce internal heat, cool the heart, and detoxify. Stewed pears with rock sugar can both clear away heat and relieve cough.

7. Eat a light diet . When children have a sore throat, they should eat a light diet and eat more fruits and vegetables. It should be reminded that children nowadays like to eat "junk" food, so they should never be given this food when their throat is inflamed. At the same time, children should be given more water and some fruit juice, but not drinks with pigments.

The above is the answer to the question of what to do when a child has a sore throat and fever. I hope it can solve your question. When a child has a sore throat and fever, mothers can use the methods introduced above to reduce the fever. These are all relatively effective methods. If the child's fever exceeds 39°, he or she should be sent to the hospital for treatment in time.
