Patient's question:
My boy, who is 9 years old, started experiencing sore throat even when drinking water. He also had mild coughing and seemed to have a low-grade fever that never subsided. I would like to ask: If the child has tonsillitis and has no appetite during treatment, what should he eat?Doctor's answer:
If a child suffers from tonsillitis, in addition to prompt treatment, attention should also be paid to their diet. First, they can eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, as many fruits have the effects of clearing heat and detoxifying, and are rich in vitamins, which can help boost immunity and resist diseases. For example, pears, apples, kumquats, and kiwis are all good choices. In daily meals, easily digestible foods should be chosen, such as porridge and noodles. At the same time, parents should also pay attention not to let their children eat and spicy foods as well as greasy foods. Finally, parents should help their children develop good eating habits.
