Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 9 years old. At first, he had a slight sore throat, and then discovered that his cough was quite severe. Additionally, he now has a high fever that won't go down. Please advise: What should be noted in terms of crying, eating, and drinking for children with tonsillitis?Doctor's answer:
During the treatment of tonsillitis, diet is also a very important aspect. It is recommended that moms can give their children more vegetables and fruits. In addition to being light and non-irritating, these foods are also rich in nutrients, which helps to resist the disease. For fruits, it is recommended to choose pears, apples, etc. For vegetables, leafy greens, cabbage, tomatoes, etc. are all good options. You can choose according to your child's preferences. The daily diet should be easy to digest, such as congee, noodles, etc. It is also necessary to drink plenty of plain water. However, some allergenic foods, such as seafood, dog meat, etc., should be avoided. At the same time as maintaining a proper diet, it is also important not to be picky or fussy about food, to avoid nutritional deficiencies and low resistance, and to prevent recurrence.
