Patient's question:
Boys, already 3 years old, at the beginning, the throat felt a bit sore, found that the cough seemed to be more serious, and also, it seemed that the low fever hadn't gone away, please ask: if the child has tonsillitis and cries, what dietary precautions should be taken.Doctor's answer:
Children's tonsils are prone to inflammation. If an inflammation occurs, it should be checked and treated as early as possible. For diet, it is recommended to focus on light foods like vegetables and fruits. Vegetables and fruits are rich in nutrients that can help boost children's immunity, thus aiding in the recovery of tonsils. Examples include apples, kiwis, which also have the effects of regulating qi, resolving phlegm, and moisturizing the lungs, providing great help for tonsillitis. When choosing staple foods, it's best to opt for softer and finer options, such as congee or noodles, to avoid difficulties in swallowing or worsening constipation. Additionally, avoid spicy and irritating foods like hot pot or spicy noodle soup, as well as allergenic foods such as beef, lamb, and seafood. Finally, it's important to help children develop good eating habits.
