Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 6 years old, just starting, feels a sore throat when speaking, discovers, coughing is quite severe, and, slightly feverish and lacking energy, please ask: What to eat during the treatment period for children's tonsillitis and crying.Doctor's answer:
Tonsillitis is currently one of the more common illnesses and requires timely treatment. While treating it, children should be given vegetables and fruits to eat. Apart from being light and non-irritating, these foods are also rich in nutrients, which help in building resistance to diseases. For example, pears have a cooling property and can help reduce fever, soothe the throat, disperse phlegm, and alleviate pain. They can relieve the symptoms of acute tonsillitis, such as throat discomfort. For staple foods, it's best to choose soft and smooth options, such as congee or noodles, to avoid difficulties in swallowing or worsening constipation. However, it's important to note that spicy and irritating foods, as well as certain "trigger foods," are not recommended for children during this period. Parents should also help their children develop good eating habits, ensuring cleanliness and health, without pickiness or bias in their diet.
