Patient's question:
My little girl is 3 years old. At first, her throat felt a bit sore, and then she started having severe coughing. Also, it seems like her low-grade fever hasn't gone away. Could you please tell me: what are the dietary restrictions for children with tonsillitis and sore throat?Doctor's answer:
During the treatment of tonsillitis in children, it is recommended to follow a light diet. Encourage the child to eat more vegetables and fruits, as they are relatively rich in nutritional elements, which can help enhance the child's immunity. For example, the peels of kumquats are rich in vitamin C, which has excellent anti-inflammatory properties. In daily meals, opt for easily digestible foods, such as congee and noodles. It is also advised to drink plenty of water. Additionally, avoid or minimize the consumption of stimulating foods like lamb and dog meat. Diet is very important for the treatment of tonsillitis and must be paid close attention to.
