Patient's question:
Boy, 7 years old, has started primary school. At first, he said he felt pain when swallowing. It was noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse when speaking, and he had been slightly feverish all along. Please ask: What are the dietary precautions for a child with tonsillitis who always cries?Doctor's answer:
If a child develops tonsillitis, it is very necessary to seek medical attention immediately. At the same time, parents should also pay attention to giving their child more vegetables and fruits. The reason for encouraging children to eat more vegetables and fruits is mainly to supplement vitamins and trace elements, which helps boost immunity and promote quicker recovery. For example, the peels of kumquats are rich in vitamin C, which has a good anti-inflammatory effect. It is advisable to choose foods that are easy to swallow and digest, such as porridge, which are excellent options. Foods like beef, lamb, poultry eggs, and seafood, which are considered "heating" foods, should be avoided during this period. Of course, this also includes stimulating and spicy foods like hot pot and spicy noodle soup, which should not be given to the child. Diet plays a very important role in the treatment of tonsillitis, so it is essential to pay attention.
