Patient's question:
Boys, who are already 6 years old, started by saying that they have a sore throat. It was found that swallowing seems a bit difficult, and it seems that the low fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: How should young children with tonsillitis and fever have a reasonable diet.Doctor's answer:
For the disease of pediatric tonsillitis, it is recommended to start with daily diet to regulate the condition. Children should eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, as they are rich in nutrients that can help boost their immunity, thereby aiding in the healing of the tonsils. However, when choosing fruits, it is important to avoid those that are too cold or cooling in nature. Opt for those that are neutral in properties, such as apples and kiwis. In terms of dietary choices, it is best to opt for easily digestible foods, such as congee and noodles, which are excellent options. Additionally, spicy and irritating foods like hot pot and spicy stew should be avoided, as well as "trigger foods" such as beef, lamb, and seafood. In daily life, it is also important to help children develop good habits. In addition to a healthy diet, they should maintain a regular sleep schedule, going to bed early and waking up early, and engage in appropriate exercise.
