Patient's question:
My little girl is 4 years old. At first, she said it hurts when she swallows things. It was found that her cough is quite severe, and she has had a slight fever all along. Please ask: what are the dietary precautions for children with tonsillitis?Doctor's answer:
During the treatment of tonsillitis, it is important to arrange the child's diet reasonably. First, you can let the child eat more vegetables and fruits, as many fruits have the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying, and are rich in vitamins, which can help improve immunity and resist diseases. For example, the peels of kumquats, which are rich in vitamin C, have a very good anti-inflammatory effect. It is also recommended to choose some easily digestible foods, such as porridge or cooking noodles until they are soft, which are all very suitable for the child during the treatment period. It is recommended to drink more water. In addition, you should eat less or avoid foods that are considered "heating" such as mutton and dog meat. Parents should also help their children develop good eating habits, ensuring cleanliness and health, without being picky or having food preferences.
