Patient's question:
A 9-year-old boy, at first, said he had pain when swallowing, noticed mild coughing, and seemed to have a low-grade fever that hadn't gone away. What should be noted in the diet if the child has tonsillitis and difficulty swallowing?Doctor's answer:
During the treatment of tonsillitis, diet is also a very important aspect. It is recommended that moms can give their children more vegetables and fruits. The reason for encouraging children to eat more vegetables and fruits is mainly to supplement vitamins and trace elements, help improve immunity, and recover as soon as possible. For fruits, it is advisable to choose pears, apples, etc. As for vegetables, things like green vegetables, Chinese cabbage, tomatoes, etc., are all good choices. You can choose based on your child's preferences. In daily meals, it is best to choose easily digestible foods, such as congee and noodles. Also, it is important to drink plenty of plain water. However, it is best to avoid some "trigger foods," such as seafood and dog meat. Diet is also very important for the treatment of tonsillitis, so pay close attention.
