Patient's question:
My little girl, who is 2 years old this year, initially said that swallowing was painful. It was found that her coughing was also quite severe, and at the same time, it seemed like her low fever hadn't subsided. Please ask: When a child has tonsillitis and cries, what should be paid attention to regarding diet?Doctor's answer:
When treating pediatric tonsillitis, dietary care should also be given sufficient attention. It is generally recommended to encourage children to eat more fruits and vegetables. The reason for this is mainly to supplement vitamins and trace elements, which helps boost immunity and facilitates quicker recovery. Fruits like pears and apples, for example, have the effects of clearing heat and reducing inflammation and can be consumed more frequently. It is also important to choose easily digestible foods for children, such as thin porridge, well-cooked noodles, and unleavened bread. Drinking plenty of water is also advised. Additionally, it is recommended to consume less or avoid foods that may trigger symptoms, such as mutton or dog meat. Lastly, it is important to help children develop good eating habits.
