Patient's question:
Boy, 12 years old, who has started elementary school. At first, he felt a sore throat when speaking, noticed it, and then had severe coughing. Additionally, he now has a high fever that won't break. Please ask: What dietary precautions should be taken when the child is uncomfortable with tonsillitis?Doctor's answer:
For the disease of tonsillitis in children, it is recommended to start with dietary adjustments. Children can be encouraged to eat more fresh vegetables and fruits. The reason for this is mainly to supplement vitamins and trace elements, which helps boost immunity and aid in quicker recovery. However, when choosing fruits, it is important to avoid those that are too cold or cooling in nature. Opt for those that are neutral in properties, such as apples and kiwis. In daily dietary choices, opt for easily digestible foods like porridge and noodles. Additionally, avoid and spicy foods, such as spicy hotpot and hot pot, as well as allergenic foods like beef, lamb, and seafood. Lastly, parents should help their children develop good lifestyle habits, maintain a regular sleep schedule, engage in appropriate exercise, and boost immunity, which can significantly reduce the incidence of the disease.
