Patient's question:
Female baby, currently 6 years old. At first, she had a sore throat, noticed that her cough seemed to be more severe, and also had a low fever. Please ask: what should the child avoid eating when tonsillitis causes redness and swelling?Doctor's answer:
During the treatment of tonsillitis, it is necessary to arrange a reasonable diet for the child. First, the child can be given more vegetables and fruits. Fruits and vegetables are rich in vitamins and trace elements, and they are relatively light in flavor, which is very helpful for the treatment of the disease. For example, fruits like pears and apples have the effects of clearing heat and reducing inflammation, so they can be eaten more. It is also recommended to choose some easily digestible foods, such as porridge or well-cooked noodles, which are very suitable for the child during the treatment. It is recommended to drink more water. In addition, it is advisable to eat less or avoid foods that are considered to stimulate the condition, such as mutton and dog meat. At the same time, it is also important to help the child overcome bad habits of picky eating and loss of appetite to ensure comprehensive nutrient absorption.
