Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 6 years old. At first, he said it hurts when he swallows, and then we noticed that swallowing seems a bit difficult. He also has a low fever. Could you please tell me: What are the dietary restrictions for children with tonsillitis who always cry?Doctor's answer:
While treating children's tonsillitis, diet also requires sufficient attention. It is generally recommended to give children more fruits and vegetables. Besides being light and non-irritating, these foods are rich in nutrients, which helps in resisting diseases. For example, the peels of jujubes are rich in vitamin C, which has excellent anti-inflammatory effects. Choose foods that are easy to swallow and digest, such as congee, which are good options. At the same time, avoid giving them certain "trigger foods," such as seafood, dog meat, etc., as these are detrimental to the condition. Finally, it is also important to help children develop good eating habits, avoiding pickiness and being biased towards certain foods, so that they can get a balanced nutrition and reduce the incidence of tonsillitis.
