Patient's question:
My daughter, who is 9 years old, initially said that even drinking water with her throat felt painful. She also noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult, accompanied by low fever. Please advise: If the child has tonsillitis and has no appetite, what kind of food can they eat?Doctor's answer:
Children's tonsils are very prone to inflammation. If they occur, they should be examined and treated as early as possible. In terms of diet, it is recommended to focus on lighter foods such as vegetables and fruits. Fruits and vegetables are rich in vitamins and trace elements, and they are relatively light, so they are 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 you can eat more of them. In daily diet, it should be light, easy to digest, and easy to swallow, such as porridge and noodles, which are all very good. It is recommended to drink more water. In addition, you should eat less or not eat stimulating foods such as mutton and dog meat. While maintaining a proper diet, it is also important not to be picky or biased in eating, so as to avoid nutritional deficiencies and low resistance, which may lead to recurrence.
