Patient's question:
Female baby, currently 9 years old, just started, said her throat hurts, noticed that coughing is quite severe, and slightly feverish and low-energy. Please ask: what should the child eat during the treatment for tonsillitis and sore throat?Doctor's answer:
During the treatment of tonsillitis, diet is also a very important factor. It is recommended that moms can give their children more vegetables and fruits. The nutritional content in vegetables and fruits is relatively rich, which can help improve children's immunity and thus aid in the healing of the tonsils. For example, pears are cooling in nature and have the effects of reducing fever, soothing the throat, resolving phlegm, and relieving pain. They can alleviate the symptoms of acute tonsillitis, such as throat discomfort. In terms of diet, it is advisable to choose foods that are soft and easy to digest, such as well-cooked noodles and porridge. It is also important to drink plenty of plain water. However, it is best to avoid foods that may exacerbate the condition, such as seafood and dog meat. Parents should also help their children develop good eating habits, ensuring cleanliness and health, and avoiding picky eating.
