Patient's question:
Boy, 9 years old, who has started elementary school. At first, he said he had pain when swallowing, and it was found that he also had a mild cough, and he had a slight fever and no energy. Please ask: what should be noted for children with tonsillitis, crying and eating.Doctor's answer:
Kids with tonsillitis are advised to be taken to the doctor promptly by their moms. In terms of diet, vegetables and fruits are relatively light options, making them a good choice during treatment. In addition to being gentle and non-irritating, these foods are also rich in nutrients, which helps boost immunity against diseases. For fruits, it is generally recommended to choose those that are neutral in nature and rich in vitamins, such as kumquats or kiwis. It is also advisable to offer easily digestible foods to children, such as thin porridge or well-cooked noodles. Drinking plenty of water is highly recommended. Additionally, it is best to limit or avoid foods that are considered "heating" (fā wù), such as mutton or dog meat. In daily life, it is important to help children develop good habits, including healthy eating habits, going to bed early and waking up early, and engaging in moderate exercise.
