Patient's question:
Boys, who are already 5 years old, have just started to feel that even drinking water feels painful in their throats. They noticed that their voices are a little hoarse when they speak, and they have been slightly feverish for a long time. Please ask: When the child has tonsillitis and feels very uncomfortable, what should they not eat?Doctor's answer:
If a child has tonsillitis, the diet should first be kept light. Vegetables and fruits should be the main focus, as they are rich in vitamins, which can help improve the immune system and alleviate symptoms. For example, the peel of jujubes contains a high amount of vitamin C, which has strong anti-inflammatory effects. In daily meals, it's best to choose light, easily digestible foods that are easy to swallow, such as porridge and noodles. Additionally, spicy and pungent foods like spicy hot pot and hotpot should be avoided, as well as "allergic foods" such as beef, lamb, and seafood. Finally, it's important to help the child develop healthy eating habits, avoiding picky eating, to ensure a balanced diet and reduce the incidence of tonsillitis.
