Patient's question:
Boy, 12 years old, has started elementary school. At first, he felt a sore throat when speaking, and noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse when talking. Additionally, he had a low fever. Please ask: what dietary precautions should be taken when the child experiences sore throat pain from tonsillitis?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, as many fruits have the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying, and are rich in vitamins, which can help improve immunity and resist diseases. For example, the peel of honeybells contains vitamin C, which has a good anti-inflammatory effect. For staple food, it is better to choose relatively fine and soft options, such as porridge or noodles, to avoid affecting swallowing or worsening constipation. Additionally, it is important to drink plenty of plain water, but avoid foods that may exacerbate the condition, such as seafood or dog meat. At the same time, it is also necessary to help children correct their picky eating and food aversion habits to ensure comprehensive nutrient absorption.
