Patient's question:
Boy, 9 years old, has started primary school. At first, he said he had pain when swallowing. It was found that his cough was quite severe, and it seemed like his low fever hadn't subsided. Please ask: what dietary precautions should be taken for children with tonsillitis and sore throat?Doctor's answer:
During the treatment of tonsillitis, diet is also a very crucial point. It is recommended that mothers can give their children more vegetables and fruits, mainly because vegetables and fruits are not only light but also rich in various vitamins and trace elements needed by the human body, which can clearly help children resist the disease. Options include pears, watermelon, honeysuckle, and pomegranates. For vegetables, green leafy vegetables and tomatoes are excellent choices. It is also advised to choose easily digestible foods, such as cooking porridge or softening noodles, which are very suitable for children during treatment. However, it is important to avoid (stimulating) and spicy foods, as well as some (trigger foods) during this period. Diet plays a key role in the treatment of tonsillitis, so attention must be paid.
