Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 5 years old. At first, she felt a sore throat when speaking, and discovered that her cough was quite severe, accompanied by low fever. Please ask: What foods can children with tonsillitis eat more often to relieve their discomfort?Doctor's answer:
If a child suffers from tonsillitis, in addition to prompt treatment, diet should also be given attention. First, they can consume more fresh fruits and vegetables. This is mainly because vegetables and fruits are not only light but also rich in various vitamins and trace elements needed by the body, which can clearly help children resist the disease. Fruits like pears and apples, for example, have the effects of clearing heat and reducing inflammation, so it’s recommended to eat more of them. Daily diet should also be easy to digest and swallow, so it’s advisable to focus on foods like thin porridge and noodle dishes. Noodles must be cooked to be very soft. Additionally, it’s important to drink plenty of plain water and eat less spicy foods like beef, lamb, and dog meat. Seafood should also be consumed in moderation or avoided. Parents should also help their children develop good eating habits, ensuring hygiene and health, avoiding pickiness and preference for certain foods.
