Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 8 years old. At first, he said that he felt pain when swallowing, and then it was found that his cough seemed to be more severe as well. Additionally, he had a low fever. Could you please ask: What should be noted in diet if the child has tonsillitis and difficulty swallowing?Doctor's answer:
While treating children's tonsillitis, diet also needs to be given sufficient attention. Generally, it is recommended to give children more fruits and vegetables. Fruits and vegetables contain rich nutritional elements, which can help improve children's immunity and thus aid in the healing of the tonsils. However, when choosing fruits, it is important to avoid overly cold ones and opt for those that are neutral in nature, such as apples or kiwis. Food that is easy to swallow and digest should be selected, such as congee, which is a good option. While maintaining a light diet, it is also necessary to eat less "disease-inducing" foods, such as poultry eggs, donkey meat, beef, and lamb. Diet is also very crucial for the treatment of tonsillitis, so pay close attention.
