Patient's question:
My little girl is 8 years old. At first, she said she had pain when swallowing, and I noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. Also, she had a slight fever and was lacking energy. Could you please advise on what to pay attention to regarding crying, eating, and drinking for children with tonsillitis?Doctor's answer:
During the treatment of tonsillitis, it is necessary to reasonably arrange the child's diet. First, the child can be encouraged to eat more vegetables and fruits. The reason for encouraging the child to eat more vegetables and fruits is mainly to supplement vitamins and trace elements, helping to boost immunity and promote faster recovery. For example, apples, kiwis, and other fruits have the effects of regulating qi, resolving phlegm, generating body fluids, and moisturizing the lungs, which are very beneficial for the treatment of tonsillitis. In daily meals, easily digestible foods should be chosen, such as congee, noodles, etc. At the same time, avoid giving the child any "trigger foods," such as seafood, dog meat, etc., as these are detrimental to the condition. Diet is also very crucial for the treatment of tonsillitis. Pay close attention.
