Patient's question:
Boy, 9 years old, has started primary school. At first, he said he had pain when swallowing, and it was found that he also had mild cough and low fever. Question: What can children with tonsillitis and sore throat eat more?Doctor's answer:
Children's tonsils are very prone to inflammation. Once it occurs, it should be checked and treated as early as possible. Regarding diet, it is recommended to focus on lighter foods such as vegetables and fruits, as many fruits have the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying, and are also rich in vitamins, which can help improve immunity and resist diseases. For fruits, we generally suggest choosing those that are neutral in nature and rich in vitamins, such as kumquats or kiwis. In terms of dietary choices, it is best to opt for foods that are easy to digest, such as congee or noodles, which are both good options. However, it is also important to note that spicy and irritating foods, as well as some "disease-promoting" foods, should not be given to children during this stage. Childhood tonsillitis can lead to complications, which are very harmful to children's health. Therefore, parents must help their children receive proper treatment.
