Patient's question:
Boy, 7 years old, already in primary school. At first, he said his throat hurts, noticed that swallowing seems a bit difficult, and at the same time, a bit of fever and no energy. Question: What can the child eat more when they have tonsillitis and are crying.Doctor's answer:
For the disease of tonsillitis in children, it is recommended to start with daily diet for regulation. Children can be encouraged to eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, as they are rich in nutrients that can help boost their immunity and thus aid in the healing of tonsils. Examples include apples, kiwis, etc., which also have the effects of regulating qi, resolving phlegm, generating fluids, and moisturizing the lungs, which are very beneficial for tonsillitis. In daily diet, easily digestible foods such as congee and noodles should be chosen. While maintaining a light diet, it is also important to limit the consumption of allergenic foods, such as poultry eggs, donkey meat, and beef or mutton. Parents should also help their children develop good eating habits, ensuring cleanliness and health, and avoiding picky or biased eating habits.
