Patient's question:
Boy, 11 years old, in elementary school. At first, he said it was painful to swallow things. It was discovered that his cough is quite severe. Additionally, he now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: What dietary precautions should be taken for young children with tonsillitis and swallowing difficulties?Doctor's answer:
tonsillitis is one of the more common diseases currently, and it requires timely treatment. While being treated, it is important to give children some vegetables and fruits. The reason for encouraging children to eat more vegetables and fruits is mainly to supplement vitamins and trace elements, helping to improve their immunity and aid in quick recovery. Examples include pears, apples, kumquats, and kiwis, all of which are good choices. It is also important to choose easily digestible foods for children, such as porridge, soft-cooked noodles, and noodle wrappers. However, it is also important to note that spicy and irritating foods, as well as certain allergenic foods, are not recommended for children during this period. Parents should also help their children develop good eating habits, ensuring hygiene and health, without being picky or biased in their food choices.
