Patient's question:
Boy, already 4 years old. At first, when he spoke, he felt a sore throat. He found that it was accompanied by a mild cough, and now he has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: what dietary precautions should be taken when the child has tonsillitis and cries?Doctor's answer:
If a child has tonsillitis, the diet should first be kept light, with vegetables and fruits as the main components. This is because vegetables and fruits are rich in vitamins, which can help boost the immune system and improve symptoms. Options include pears, watermelon, kumquats, and pomegranates. For vegetables, green leafy greens and tomatoes are excellent choices. It is also important to choose easily digestible foods for the child, such as porridge, well-cooked noodles, and noodle wrappers. It is recommended to drink plenty of water. Additionally, the child should eat or avoid foods that are considered "heating" or irritating, such as mutton and dog meat. At the same time, it is also important to help the child overcome picky eating and poor appetite habits to ensure comprehensive nutrient absorption.
