Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 7 years old. At first, he felt a sore throat when speaking and noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse. Additionally, he had a low fever. Please ask: During the treatment for tonsillitis, what should the child eat with no appetite?Doctor's answer:
During the treatment of tonsillitis, it is necessary to reasonably arrange the child's diet. First, the child should be encouraged to eat more vegetables and fruits. The reason for encouraging the child to eat more vegetables and fruits is mainly to supplement vitamins and trace elements, helping to boost immunity and facilitate a quicker recovery. For example, pears, apples, kumquats, and kiwis are all good choices. For staple foods, it is best to choose relatively soft options, such as congee or noodles, to avoid hindering swallowing or worsening constipation. Foods that are considered "heating" during this period, such as beef, lamb, poultry, eggs, and seafood, should not be given to the child. This also includes spicy and irritating foods like hot pot or. Parents should also help the child develop good dietary habits, ensuring hygiene and health, and avoiding pickiness or partiality in eating.
