Patient's question:
Boys, who are already 5 years old. At first, when speaking, they felt a sore throat. They noticed that their cough seemed to be more severe, and now they have high fever that doesn't go down. Please ask: Did the child have tonsillitis? What should be paid attention to regarding diet and appetite?Doctor's answer:
If a child suffers from tonsillitis, in addition to prompt treatment, dietary attention should also be given. First, they can consume more fresh fruits and vegetables. This is mainly because vegetables and fruits are not only light but also rich in various vitamins and trace elements needed by the body, which can clearly help children resist the disease. Options include pears, kiwis, and honeysuckle, which also have the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying. For staple foods, it is best to choose softer and more delicate options, such as porridge or noodles, to avoid difficulties in swallowing or worsening constipation. However, it is also important to note that spicy and irritating foods, as well as certain "trigger foods," are not recommended for children during this period. Parents should also help their children develop good eating habits, ensuring cleanliness and health, avoiding pickiness and partiality in their diet.
