Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 6 years old. At first, he felt a sore throat when speaking, and then found that he had severe coughing and had been slightly feverish. Please ask: When a child has tonsillitis, what should be paid attention to in terms of diet?Doctor's answer:
If a child has tonsillitis, the diet should first be kept light. Vegetables and fruits should be the main focus, as they are rich in vitamins, which can help improve immunity and alleviate symptoms. Fruits like pears and apples have the effect of clearing heat and reducing inflammation, so it’s advisable to consume more of them. When choosing food, it’s best to opt for easily digestible options, such as congee and noodles. At the same time, parents should also pay attention not to let the child eat spicy or irritating foods, as well as fatty foods. Diet is also very important for the treatment of tonsillitis, so it must be paid close attention to.
