Patient's question:
Boy, 9 years old, has started elementary school. At first, he said he had pain when swallowing. It was found that he also had a mild cough and low fever. Please ask: What foods can children with tonsillitis and sore throat eat more?Doctor's answer:
Children's tonsils are very prone to inflammation. Once it occurs, it should be checked and treated as early as possible. In terms of diet, it is recommended to focus on lighter foods such as vegetables and fruits, as many fruits have the effects of clearing heat and detoxifying, and are rich in vitamins, which can help boost immunity and resist diseases. For fruits, it is generally advisable to choose those that are neutral in nature and rich in vitamins, such as honeysuckle and kiwifruit. In terms of food choices, it is best to opt for easily digestible options, such as congee or noodles, which are excellent choices. However, it is important to note that spicy, irritating foods, as well as certain trigger foods, should not be given to children during this stage. Children's tonsillitis can lead to complications, which are very detrimental to their health. Therefore, parents must ensure that their children receive proper treatment.
