Patient's question:
Boy, he is already 7 years old. At first, he felt pain in his throat even when drinking water. He noticed that it was accompanied by mild coughing, and at the same time, it seemed like a low-grade fever that never went away. Please ask: What dietary precautions should be taken for young children with tonsillitis and sore throat?Doctor's answer:
During the treatment of tonsillitis, it is necessary to arrange the child's diet reasonably. First, the child should be encouraged to eat more vegetables and fruits. This is mainly because vegetables and fruits are not only light but also rich in various vitamins and trace elements needed by the human body, which can clearly help the child fight the disease. For example, apples, kiwis, etc., also have the effects of regulating qi, resolving phlegm, nourishing fluids, and moistening the lungs, which are very helpful for the treatment of tonsillitis. It is also important to choose easily digestible foods for the child, such as porridge, well-cooked noodles, noodle wrappers, etc. At the same time, never give the child "stimulating" foods, such as seafood or dog meat, as these are not beneficial to the condition. Diet is also very crucial for the treatment of tonsillitis, so attention must be paid.
