Patient's question:
Boy, he is already 8 years old. At first, he said that even drinking water with his throat felt painful. He noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse when he spoke and that he was a little feverish and lacking energy. Please ask: What should be noted in the diet when the child has tonsillitis and feels uncomfortable?Doctor's answer:
If a child has tonsillitis, the diet should first be kept light. Vegetables and fruits should be the main focus, as they are not only light but also rich in various vitamins and trace elements needed by the body, which can obviously help the child resist the disease. For example, pears are cooling and have the effects of reducing fever, soothing the throat, expelling phlegm, and relieving pain, which can alleviate the symptoms of acute tonsillitis in the throat. In terms of dietary choices, it is best to opt for easily digestible foods, such as congee and noodles, which are excellent options. Foods like beef, mutton, poultry, eggs, and seafood should be avoided during this period, as they are considered "disease-inducing" foods. Of course, and spicy foods like hot pot and spicy noodles should also be excluded. In addition to following the doctor's treatment, parents should also help their children develop good eating and living habits, which can aid in early recovery.
