Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 3 years old. At first, he felt a sore throat when speaking and noticed mild coughing. At the same time, it seems like he has had a low-grade fever that hasn't gone away. Please ask: What dietary restrictions should there be for a child with tonsillitis and no appetite?Doctor's answer:
For the disease of tonsillitis in children, it is recommended to start with daily diet adjustment. Encourage children to eat more fresh vegetables and fruits. In addition to being light and non-irritating, these foods are also rich in nutrients, which helps to resist the disease. Examples include pears, apples, kumquats, and kiwis, all of which are good choices. You can also choose some easily digestible foods for your child, such as thin porridge or well-cooked noodles. During this stage, avoid giving children foods that are considered "heating" or irritating, such as beef, lamb, poultry eggs, and seafood. This also includes spicy and pungent foods like spicy hot pot or hot pot. At the same time, it is important to help children correct their bad habits of picky eating and poor appetite to ensure comprehensive nutrient absorption.
