Patient's question:
My little boy, who is one year old. At first, it was said that even drinking water made his throat sore. I noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse when he spoke, and he was a little feverish and lacking energy. Could you please ask: What are the dietary principles for children with tonsillitis discomfort?Doctor's answer:
For tonsillitis in children, it is recommended to start with dietary adjustment. Encourage children to eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, as many fruits have the properties of clearing heat and detoxifying, and are rich in vitamins, which can help boost immunity and resist diseases. For example, pears are cooling and have the effects of reducing fever, soothing the throat, expelling phlegm, and relieving pain, which can alleviate the symptoms of acute tonsillitis such as throat discomfort. It is also important to choose easily digestible foods for children, such as congee, well-cooked noodles, and noodle wrappers. Additionally, make sure to drink plenty of plain water and reduce the intake of "heating" foods like beef, lamb, and dog meat. Seafood should also be consumed in moderation or avoided. At the same time, it is necessary to help children overcome picky eating and poor appetite habits to ensure comprehensive nutrient absorption.
