Patient's question:
Boy, he is already 8 years old. At first, he felt a sore throat when speaking and found that his cough was quite severe. Additionally, he now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: What should children with tonsillitis not eat when they are crying?Doctor's answer:
While treating pediatric tonsillitis, dietary attention is equally important. Generally, it is recommended to give children more fruits and vegetables, as they are rich in nutrients that can help boost immunity and aid in the recovery of the tonsils. However, when choosing fruits, avoid those that are too cold, opting instead for those with a balanced nature, such as apples or kiwis. For staple foods, it is best to choose softer options like congee or noodles to prevent swallowing difficulties or to avoid exacerbating constipation. Additionally, it is important to drink plenty of plain water, while minimizing the consumption of "heating" foods like beef, mutton, and dog meat. Seafood should also be consumed in moderation or avoided. In daily life, it is also important to help children develop good habits, including healthy eating, early sleep and wake times, and moderate exercise.
