Patient's question:
Boy, 7 years old, already in primary school. At first, he said his throat was sore, and it was noticed that his cough also seemed more severe. Additionally, he now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: What foods can children with inflamed and swollen tonsils eat more of?Doctor's answer:
If a child suffers from tonsillitis, in addition to seeking prompt treatment, dietary management should also be given importance. First, they can consume more fresh fruits and vegetables. This is mainly because vegetables and fruits are not only light and refreshing but also rich in various vitamins and trace elements needed by the body, which can obviously help children resist the illness. When it comes to fruits, it is generally recommended to choose those that are neutral in nature and rich in vitamins, such as kumquats or kiwis. Daily meals should also be easy to digest and swallow, so it is advisable to focus on foods like porridge and noodle dishes. The noodles must be cooked until they are soft and smooth. Meanwhile, parents should also pay attention not to let the child eatand. Additionally, it is important to help the child overcome bad habits of picky eating and loss of appetite to ensure comprehensive nutrient absorption.
