Patient's question:
Boy, who is already 9 years old, started by saying his throat hurts. It was discovered that his cough also seems quite severe, and now he has a high fever that won't break. Please ask: What dietary precautions should be taken when the child is uncomfortable due to tonsillitis?Doctor's answer:
Children's tonsils are very prone to inflammation, and if they occur, they should be examined and treated as soon as possible. For diet, it is recommended to focus on light foods like vegetables and fruits, as many fruits have the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying, and are rich in vitamins, which can help boost immunity and resist diseases. Fruits like pears and apples, for example, have the effects of clearing heat and reducing inflammation and can be eaten more frequently. It is also advisable to choose easily digestible foods, such as porridge or well-cooked noodles, which are suitable for children during treatment. Additionally, and spicy foods like spicy hot pot and hot pot should not be given to children, nor should "triggering" foods like beef, lamb, and seafood. Parents should also help their children develop good eating habits, ensuring cleanliness and health, and avoiding pickiness and partiality in their diet.
