Patient's question:
Boy, who is already 9 years old, initially said he had pain when swallowing. It was discovered that his cough is quite severe, and now he has a high fever that doesn't subside. Question: How should children with tonsillitis and sore throat have a reasonable diet?Doctor's answer:
During the treatment of tonsillitis, it is important to arrange a proper diet for children. Firstly, children should be encouraged to eat more vegetables and fruits. These foods are not only rich in vitamins and trace elements, which can help boost the immune system, but they are also relatively light and easy to digest. For example, orange peels, which are rich in vitamin C, have excellent anti-inflammatory effects. It is also important to choose easily digestible foods for children, such as thin porridge, well-cooked noodles, and noodle skins. Additionally, children should drink plenty of boiled water. However, they should avoid certain "trigger foods," such as seafood and dog meat. In daily life, it is also necessary to help children develop good habits. Besides a healthy diet, they should maintain a regular sleep schedule (going to bed early and waking up early) and engage in appropriate exercise.
