Patient's question:
Boy, who is already 6 years old, initially had a slightly sore throat. He noticed that his cough was quite severe. Additionally, it seems like his low-grade fever hasn't gone away. Could you please ask: What foods can children with tonsillitis and sore throat eat?Doctor's answer:
For the disease of tonsillitis in children, it is recommended to start with daily diet for regulation. Children can be encouraged to eat more fresh vegetables and fruits. These foods are not only rich in vitamins and trace elements, which can help boost immunity, but they are also relatively light. For example, the peels of honeysuckle fruits are rich in vitamin C, which has a good anti-inflammatory effect. As for staple foods, it is best to choose softer 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 allergenic foods, should not be given to children during this period. At the same time, it is necessary to help children correct their picky eating and poor appetite habits to ensure comprehensive nutrient absorption.
