Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 7 years old. At first, he had a slightly sore throat, and then I noticed he was coughing quite severely, accompanied by a low fever. Please ask: What should the child with tonsillitis avoid eating when he constantly cries?Doctor's answer:
During the child's treatment for tonsillitis, the daily diet should primarily be light. It is advisable to consume more vegetables and fruits, as they are rich in vitamins, which can help boost the immune system. Fruits like pears, kiwis, and tangerines are good choices, as they also have the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying. For daily meals, it is best to opt for light, easily digestible, and easy-to-swallow foods, such as porridge and noodles, which are excellent options. Additionally, it is important to drink plenty of plain water and limit the intake of irritant foods like beef, mutton, and dog meat. Seafood should also be consumed in moderation or avoided. In addition to following the doctor's advice, parents should help their children develop good eating and living habits, which can aid in early recovery.
