Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 2 years old. At first, he had a slightly sore throat, and I noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse when he spoke. At the same time, he had a low fever. I would like to ask: what dietary precautions should be taken for children with tonsillitis who always cry?Doctor's answer:
Children with tonsillitis are advised to seek timely treatment with their mothers. In terms of diet, vegetables and fruits with mild flavors are a good choice during the treatment period, as many fruits have the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying, and are rich in vitamins, which can help boost immunity and resist diseases. You can choose fruits like pears, watermelon, kumquats, and pomegranates. For vegetables, green leafy greens and tomatoes are also excellent options. You can also provide your child with easily digestible foods, such as thin porridge or well-cooked noodles. At the same time, it is important to avoid giving them "trigger foods" as much as possible, such as beef, mutton, dog meat, and seafood, as they may worsen symptoms. Parents should also help their children develop good eating habits, ensuring cleanliness and health, avoiding picky and biased eating habits.
