Patient's question:
My little girl, she's one year old. At first, she said her throat hurts, and then we noticed she also has a mild cough. At the same time, it seems like she hasn't recovered from a low fever. Could you please tell me: If my child has tonsillitis and cries a lot, what should she eat more of?Doctor's answer:
If a child suffers from tonsillitis, in addition to prompt treatment, attention should also be paid to diet. First, it's 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 aid quick recovery. Options include pears, kiwis, and kumquats, which also have the effects of clearing heat and detoxifying. Daily meals should consist of easily digestible foods, such as porridge and noodles. However, it's important to note that spicy and irritating foods, as well as certain allergenic foods, are not recommended for children during this period. In daily life, it's also important to help children develop good habits. In addition to a healthy diet, they should also maintain a regular sleep schedule (early to bed, early to rise) and engage in appropriate exercise.
