Patient's question:
My son is 7 years old. At first, he said it hurt when he swallowed something. I noticed that his cough also seemed to be worse, and it looked like he had a low-grade fever that never went away. Please ask: How should the child with tonsillitis eat a reasonable diet when he cries?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, it is very necessary to seek medical attention immediately. At the same time, parents should also pay attention to giving their child more vegetables and fruits. The nutritional content in vegetables and fruits is relatively rich, which can help improve the child's immunity and thus aid in the healing of the tonsils. For example, the peel of honey oranges is rich in vitamin C, which has a very good anti-inflammatory effect. In daily diet, it should be light, easy to digest, and easy to swallow, such as congee and noodles, which are all very good choices. At the same time, it is important to pay attention to minimizing the child's consumption of "trigger foods," such as beef, lamb, dog meat, and seafood, as these can worsen symptoms. In daily life, it is also important to help the child develop good habits. In addition to a healthy diet, they should also go to bed early, get up early, and engage in appropriate exercise.
