Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 3 years old. At first, he felt a sore throat when speaking and noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse. Now, he has a high fever that won't break. Please ask: What are the dietary restrictions for a child with tonsillitis who is crying and refusing to eat?Doctor's answer:
During the treatment of tonsillitis, diet is also a very important factor. It is recommended that mothers give their children more vegetables and fruits, as many fruits have the effects of clearing heat and detoxifying, and are rich in vitamins, which can help improve immunity and resist diseases. For example, fruits like pears and apples have the effects of clearing heat and reducing inflammation, so they can be eaten more. In daily diet, it should be light, easy to digest, and easy to swallow, such as porridge and noodles, which are very good. Additionally, it is important to drink more boiled water and eat less allergenic foods like beef, mutton, and dog meat. Seafood is best to eat less or not at all. Finally, it is also necessary to help children develop good eating habits.
