Patient's question:
My boy, who is 5 years old, initially said he had a sore throat. It was discovered that his voice was a bit hoarse when he spoke, and he also had a low fever. Please advise: What dietary precautions should be noted if the child has tonsillitis and no appetite?Doctor's answer:
During the treatment of tonsillitis, it is necessary to arrange a reasonable diet for children. First, children should be encouraged to eat more vegetables and fruits. Fruits and vegetables are rich in vitamins and trace elements, and they are relatively light, which is very beneficial for the treatment of the disease. When it comes to fruits, we generally recommend choosing those that are neutral in nature and rich in vitamins, such as honeysuckle or kiwifruit. It is also important to choose easily digestible foods for children, such as congee, well-cooked noodles, or noodle wrappers. At the same time, never feed them "trigger foods" like seafood or dog meat, as these can be harmful to the condition. Finally, parents should help their children develop good habits, maintain a regular schedule, engage in appropriate exercise, and boost their immunity. This can significantly reduce the occurrence of the disease.
