Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 5 years old. At first, she said it hurts when she swallows things. It was found that her cough is also quite severe. Additionally, it seems her low-grade fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: How should the child's diet be reasonable when they have tonsillitis and sore throat?Doctor's answer:
If a child suffers from tonsillitis, in addition to prompt treatment, dietary attention should also be paid. First, they can eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, as these contain rich nutritional elements that can help boost the child's immunity and thus aid in the healing of the tonsils. For example, pears are cool in nature and have properties such as fever reduction, throat soothing, phlegm resolution, and pain relief, which can alleviate symptoms of acute tonsillitis. In daily diet, it should be chosen to be easily digestible, such as porridge, noodles, etc. At the same time, never give them some irritant foods, such as seafood, dog meat, etc., as these are not beneficial to the condition. In addition to cooperating with the doctor, parents should also help the child develop good eating and living habits, which can help them recover sooner.
