Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 8 years old. At first, he felt a sore throat when speaking, and noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse. Meanwhile, he now has a high fever that won't go down. Could you please tell me: What are the dietary and behavioral for young children with tonsillitis and crying?Doctor's answer:
For the disease of tonsillitis in children, it is recommended to start with daily diet adjustments. Encourage the child to eat more fresh vegetables and fruits. Besides being light and non-irritating, these foods are also rich in nutrients, which helps boost the immune system to resist the disease. For example, the peels of kumquats are rich in vitamin C, which has excellent anti-inflammatory properties. In terms of diet, it is advisable to choose foods that are soft and easy to digest, such as well-cooked noodles and congee. While maintaining a light diet, it is also necessary to limit the intake of allergenic foods, such as poultry eggs, donkey meat, beef, and lamb. At the same time, it is important to help the child correct bad habits like picky eating and poor appetite to ensure comprehensive nutrient absorption.
