Patient's question:
Boy, 7 years old, started elementary school. At first, he felt a sore throat when talking and noticed his voice was a bit hoarse. Additionally, he now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: What foods can the child eat more when he has tonsillitis and cries?Doctor's answer:
For tonsillitis in children, it is recommended to start with dietary adjustments. Encourage the child to eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, as they are rich in vitamins that can help boost the immune system. Examples include apples and kiwis, which also have the effects of regulating qi, resolving phlegm, and moisturizing the lungs, providing significant benefits for tonsillitis. When choosing food, it is best to opt for easily digestible options, such as congee and noodles. While maintaining a light diet, it is also important to avoid foods that may aggravate the condition, such as poultry, eggs, donkey meat, and beef. Complications may arise from pediatric tonsillitis, which can be very harmful to the child's health. Therefore, parents must ensure that their child receives proper treatment.
