Patient's question:
Boy, 7 years old, has started elementary school. At first, he said his throat was sore. Upon observation, it seems his cough is also quite severe. Additionally, he now has a high fever that won't break. Question: What can children with inflamed and swollen tonsils eat more of?Doctor's answer:
If a child suffers from tonsillitis, in addition to prompt treatment, diet should also be paid attention to. First, they can eat more fresh fruits and vegetables. This is mainly because vegetables and fruits are not only light but also rich in various vitamins and trace elements needed by the human body, which can clearly help children resist the disease. As for fruits, we generally recommend choosing those that are neutral in nature and rich in vitamins, such as honeysuckle and kiwifruit. Daily diet should also focus on easy digestion and swallowing, so it is advisable to consume foods like porridge and noodles. The noodles must be cooked to be very soft. At the same time, parents should also pay attention not to let their children eat stimulating, spicy, or greasy foods. Additionally, they should help their children correct bad habits like picky eating and food aversion to ensure comprehensive nutrient absorption.
