Patient's question:
Boy, 9 years old, in elementary school. At first, he said his throat hurt even when drinking water. He also discovered mild coughing, and he had a slight fever and no energy. Please ask: What dietary precautions should be taken for a child with tonsillitis who has no appetite?Doctor's answer:
During the treatment of tonsillitis, it is necessary to reasonably arrange the child's diet. First, the child can be given more vegetables and fruits, as they are rich in vitamins, which helps boost immunity. For example, the peel of kumquats is rich in vitamin C, which has a good anti-inflammatory effect. In daily meals, easily digestible foods such as congee and noodles should be chosen. Foods like beef, lamb, poultry, eggs, and seafood, which are considered "inducing factors," should be avoided during this period. Of course, this also includes spicy and irritating foods like hot pot and spicy noodle soup. In addition to following the doctor's advice, parents should also help the child develop good eating and lifestyle habits, which can aid in early recovery.
