Patient's question:
Boys, already 3 years old, at the beginning, said that their throat hurts, noticed that, cough seems to be more serious, at the same time, accompanied by low fever, please ask: what are the dietary principles for children with tonsillitis who feel very uncomfortable.Doctor's answer:
During the treatment for tonsillitis, the child's daily diet should first and foremost be light. They can consume more vegetables and fruits. The reason for encouraging the child to eat more vegetables and fruits is mainly to supplement vitamins and trace elements, which helps to boost immunity and aid in a quicker recovery. Fruits like pears and apples have the effect of clearing heat and reducing inflammation, so it's advisable to eat more of them. Additionally, soft and easy-to-digest foods can be chosen for the child, such as thin porridge or well-cooked noodles. Foods like beef, lamb, poultry, eggs, and seafood, which are considered "heating" foods, should be avoided during this period. This also includes spicy and pungent foods like hot pot and spicy soup. It is also important to help the child overcome picky eating and poor appetite habits to ensure comprehensive nutrient absorption.
