Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 5 years old. At first, she said her throat hurts, and I noticed her voice is a bit hoarse when she talks. Also, it seems like her low-grade fever hasn't gone away. Could you please ask: How to reasonably diet for children with tonsillitis who have no appetite?Doctor's answer:
For tonsillitis in children, it is recommended to start with dietary adjustments. Encourage children to eat more fresh vegetables and fruits. These foods are not only light and non-irritating but also rich in nutrients, which help boost immunity. However, when choosing fruits, avoid overly cold ones. Opt for neutral-natured options like apples or kiwis. Daily meals should consist of easily digestible foods such as congee or noodles. It is also advised to drink plenty of water. Additionally, limit or avoid foods that are considered "heating" or irritating, such as lamb or dog meat. Lastly, help children develop healthy eating habits to avoid pickiness and food preferences, ensuring a balanced diet and reducing the incidence of tonsillitis.
