Patient's question:
My little girl is 5 years old. At first, she said she had pain when swallowing things. It was found that her cough seems to be more severe as well. Now, she has high fever that won't go down. I would like to ask: what dietary precautions should be taken if the child has tonsillitis with redness and swelling?Doctor's answer:
During the treatment of tonsillitis, diet is also a very important aspect. It is recommended that mothers can give their children more vegetables and fruits. In addition to being light and non-irritating, these foods are also rich in nutrients, which helps to resist the disease. Pears, apples, kumquats, and kiwis are all good choices. It is also important to choose easily digestible foods for children, such as porridge, well-cooked noodles, and noodle skins. While following a light diet, it is also necessary to eat less "trigger foods," such as poultry eggs, donkey meat, beef, and mutton. Parents should also help their children develop good eating habits, ensuring cleanliness and health, and avoiding picky or biased eating habits.
