Patient's question:
Boy, 10 years old, started elementary school. At first, he felt sore throat even when drinking water, and discovered it was accompanied by mild cough. Now, he has high fever that won't go down. Please ask: What dietary precautions should be taken for tonsillitis with sore throat in children?Doctor's answer:
Tonsillitis is one of the more common diseases currently, and it requires timely treatment. While being treated, children should be given vegetables and fruits to eat. Vegetables and fruits are rich in a lot of vitamins, which helps boost immunity. However, when choosing fruits, it's important to avoid overly cold or cool ones. Options like apples and kiwis, which are considered neutral in nature, are suitable. In terms of dietary choices, it's best to opt for easily digestible foods, such as congee or noodles, which are excellent choices. While maintaining a light diet, it's also advisable to minimize the consumption of "trigger foods," such as poultry eggs, donkey meat, beef, and lamb. Parents should also help their children develop good eating habits, ensuring hygiene and health while avoiding picky or biased eating habits.
