Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 7 years old. At first, he said it hurts when he swallows, and I noticed that swallowing seems a bit difficult. Also, he now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: Has my child's tonsils become inflamed? What should I pay attention to regarding his appetite and diet.Doctor's answer:
During the treatment of tonsillitis, it is important to arrange a proper diet for the child. Firstly, the child should be encouraged to eat more vegetables and fruits. Fruits and vegetables are rich in vitamins and trace elements, and they are relatively light, which is very beneficial for the treatment of the disease. Options include pears, watermelons, kumquats, and pomegranates. As for vegetables, green leafy vegetables and tomatoes are excellent choices. It is also important to choose easily digestible foods for the child, such as porridge, soft-cooked noodles, and pasta. At the same time, parents should avoid letting the child eat spicy or greasy foods. In addition to following the doctor's advice, parents should also help the child develop good eating and living habits, which can aid in a quicker recovery.
