Patient's question:
My child was diagnosed with adenoid hypertrophy at the hospital. They have been coughing, wheezing, and having a runny nose, and also have difficulty sleeping at night, waking up easily. The doctor now says it can be treated conservatively for a period of time and has asked me to pay attention to my child's diet. What dietary precautions should be taken for adenoid hypertrophy?Doctor's answer:
Children with adenoid hypertrophy should avoid all cold foods in their diet and only consume foods that are neutral or warm in nature, such as pork, chicken, beef, pigeon meat, quail, eel, loach, green vegetables, cabbage, cauliflower, soybean sprouts, potatoes, chives, carrots (2 times a week), and in summer, add green beans, cowpeas, cucumbers, tomatoes, lotus root, celery, cauliflower, and various mushrooms. Mushrooms are also slightly cool and suitable for summer. Fruits should be fresh and seasonal. After May, fresh fruits become available. Strawberries, peaches, grapes, and cherries can be eaten. In autumn, apples, pears, and oranges can be consumed.
