Patient's question:
My boy is 7 years old. At first, he said he had pain when swallowing, and I noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse when he spoke. At the same time, he had a low fever. Please ask: If the child's tonsillitis is very uncomfortable, what can he eat more?Doctor's answer:
It is essential to promptly treat tonsillitis in children. Additionally, in daily diet, it is recommended to consume more vegetables and fruits. These foods are not only rich in vitamins and trace elements but also help boost immunity. Moreover, they are relatively light in flavor. For example, pears have a cooling nature and possess the effects of reducing fever, soothing the throat, expelling phlegm, and relieving pain, which can alleviate symptoms of acute tonsillitis in the throat. You can also choose some easily digestible foods for your child, such as thin porridge or well-cooked noodles.Additionally, avoid spicy and irritating foods, such as hot pot or spicy street food, as well as "stimulating" foods like beef, lamb, and seafood. In daily life, it is also important to help your child develop good habits. Apart from a healthy diet, ensure they get adequate sleep, wake up early, and engage in regular exercise.
