Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 3 years old. At first, he said it hurts when he swallows things, and we found that swallowing seems a bit difficult. Additionally, he now has a high fever that won't go down. Could you please advise: What should I pay attention to regarding appetite and diet if my child has tonsillitis?Doctor's answer:
During the treatment for tonsillitis in children, the daily diet should primarily focus on light foods. It's recommended to consume more vegetables and fruits, as many fruits have the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying, and are rich in vitamins, which can help boost immunity and resist diseases. Generally, we advise choosing fruits that are neutral in nature and rich in vitamins, such as kumquats or kiwis. In terms of dietary choices, it's best to opt for easily digestible options, such as congee or noodles, which are excellent. However, it's important to note that and spicy foods, as well as some , are not recommended for children during this period. The diet plays a crucial role in the treatment of tonsillitis, so it's essential to pay close attention.
