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 and asks 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 and cool foods in their diet and only consume neutral and warm foods, 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 seasonal fruits. After May, fresh fruits become available. Strawberries, peaches, grapes, and cherries can be eaten. In autumn, apples, pears, and oranges can be consumed.
