Patient's question:
My daughter is one year old. At first, she said her throat was sore, and we noticed she also had mild coughing. Additionally, it seems like her low-grade fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: If the child has tonsillitis and cries a lot, what should they eat more of?Doctor's answer:
If a child suffers from tonsillitis, in addition to prompt treatment, diet should also be given attention. First, it is advisable to consume more fresh fruits and vegetables. The reason for encouraging children to eat more fruits and vegetables is mainly to supplement vitamins and trace elements, which helps boost immunity and facilitate a quicker recovery. Options include pears, kiwis, and honeysuckle, which also have the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying. In daily diet, easily digestible foods should be chosen, such as congee and noodles. However, it is important to note that stimulating and spicy foods, as well as certain noxious substances, are not recommended for children during this period. In daily life, it is also necessary to help children develop good habits. In addition to a healthy diet, early sleep and wake times, as well as appropriate exercise, should also be maintained.
