Patient's question:
Boy, 12 years old, in elementary school. At first, he said he had difficulty swallowing and found that his cough seemed quite severe as well. Additionally, he had a low fever. Question: What are the dietary precautions for swallowing difficulties caused by tonsillitis in children?Doctor's answer:
While treating children's tonsillitis, dietary care is also equally important. Generally, it is recommended to give children more fruits and vegetables. This is mainly because vegetables and fruits are not only light and refreshing but also rich in various vitamins and trace elements needed by the human body, which can obviously help children resist diseases. For fruits, we usually suggest choosing those that are neutral in nature and rich in vitamins, such as kumquats or kiwis. It is also important to choose easily digestible foods for children, such as porridge, well-cooked noodles, or noodle wrappers. Additionally, foods that are spicy or irritating, such as spicy hot pot or hot pot, should be avoided, as well as "trigger foods" like beef, lamb, or seafood. Lastly, parents should help children develop good habits, maintain a regular schedule, engage in appropriate exercise, and boost their immunity, which can significantly reduce the incidence of diseases.
