Patient's question:
Boy, 13 years old, in elementary school. At first, he said it hurts when he swallows things. It was found that his voice is a bit hoarse when he speaks, and he has had a slight fever all along.：What dietary precautions should the child take when he is not comfortable due to tonsillitis.Doctor's answer:
While treating pediatric tonsillitis, dietary management is also important enough to be given sufficient attention. It is generally recommended to give children more fruits and vegetables. The reason for encouraging them to eat more fruits and vegetables is mainly to supplement vitamins and trace elements, helping to boost immunity and promote faster recovery. However, when choosing fruits, it is important to avoid overly cold or cooling ones. Opt for neutral-natured fruits, such as apples or kiwis. In daily meals, easily digestible foods like porridge or noodles should be chosen. It is advisable to drink plenty of water. Additionally, avoid or limit the consumption of "heating" foods like mutton or dog meat. Parents should also help their children develop good eating habits, ensuring hygiene and health while avoiding pickiness or partiality in food preferences.
