Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned 6 months old, just started, a little sore throat, noticed that, coughing is quite severe, also, it seems the low fever hasn't gone away, please ask: What should be noted in diet for children with tonsillitis crying.Doctor's answer:
It's recommended that parents take their children to seek treatment promptly when they have tonsillitis. In terms of diet, vegetables and fruits are relatively light and are a good choice for children during their recovery period. This is mainly because vegetables and fruits are not only light but also rich in various vitamins and trace elements needed by the human body, which can help children fight the disease. For example, pears have a cooling property and can help reduce fever, soothe the throat, clear phlegm, and alleviate pain, thereby relieving symptoms of acute tonsillitis in the throat. In terms of dietary choices, it's best to opt for easily digestible foods, such as congee and noodles, which are excellent options. Avoid foods that are considered "heating" during this stage, such as beef, lamb, poultry, eggs, and seafood. This also includes spicy and stimulating foods like hot pot and spicy instant noodles. In daily life, it's important to help children develop good habits. In addition to a healthy diet, it's also advisable to maintain a regular sleep schedule (going to bed early and waking up early) and engage in appropriate physical activity.
