Patient's question:
Boy, 13 years old, in primary school. At first, he said that even drinking water with his throat hurt, and he found mild coughing, and he had been a bit feverish all the time. Please ask: what dietary restrictions should the child have when he has tonsillitis with redness and swelling?Doctor's answer:
If a child suffers from tonsillitis, it is very necessary to seek medical attention immediately. At the same time, parents should also pay attention to giving their children more vegetables and fruits. This is mainly because vegetables and fruits are not only light but also rich in various vitamins and trace elements needed by the human body, which can obviously help children resist the disease. However, when choosing fruits, it is important to avoid those that are too cold and cooling in nature. It is better to choose some that are neutral in nature, such as apples and kiwis. Food choices should be ones that are easy to swallow and digest, such as congee, which is quite good. Additionally, it is important to drink plenty of plain water and eat less "heating" foods like beef, mutton, and dog meat. Seafood should also be eaten in moderation or avoided. Parents should also help their children develop good eating habits, ensuring cleanliness and health, avoiding pickiness and partiality in food choices.
