Patient's question:
Boy, 13 years old, in primary school. At first, he said his throat hurt even when drinking water. He then discovered that he had severe coughing and accompanied by low fever. Please ask: What is a reasonable diet for children with swollen and red tonsils?Doctor's answer:
During the treatment of tonsillitis, diet is also a very important aspect. It is recommended that mothers can encourage their children to eat more vegetables and fruits. Fruits and vegetables are rich in vitamins and trace elements, and they are relatively light in flavor, which is very helpful for the treatment of the disease. For example, pears, apples, kumquats, and kiwis are all good choices. You can also choose some easily digestible foods for your child, such as thin porridge or well-cooked noodles. During this period, foods like beef, lamb, poultry eggs, and seafood should be avoided, as they are considered "irritating" foods. This also includes spicy and irritating dishes like spicy hot pot or hotpot. In addition to following the doctor's advice, parents should also help their children develop good eating and living habits, which can help them recover sooner.
