Patient's question:
Boy, 12 years old, in elementary school. At first, he said even drinking water felt painful in his throat. He noticed his voice had a slight hoarseness when speaking. Additionally, he had a slight fever and lacked energy. Please ask: What should the child eat during the treatment for tonsillitis when he cries?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. This is because vegetables and fruits are rich in vitamins, which can help boost immunity, alleviate symptoms, such as pears. Pears are cooling in nature and have the effects of reducing fever, soothing the throat, resolving phlegm, and relieving pain, thereby reducing the discomfort of acute tonsillitis in the throat. Daily diet should consist of easily digestible foods, such as porridge and noodles. Additionally, spicy and irritating foods, such as hot pot and spicy hotpot, as well as allergenic foods, like beef, lamb, and seafood, should be avoided. Children with tonsillitis may develop some complications, which can be very harmful to their health. Therefore, parents must help children receive proper treatment.
