Patient's question:
My son is 7 years old. At first, he felt a sore throat when talking and found that his voice was a bit hoarse. Additionally, he had a slight fever and was lacking energy. Could you please advise on dietary precautions for a child with tonsillitis who cries?Doctor's answer:
Wanting children with tonsillitis to recover from eating as soon as possible is very important. First, they should eat more fresh vegetables and fruits because many fruits have the effects of clearing heat and detoxifying, and are rich in vitamins, which can help boost immunity and resist diseases. For example, apples, kiwis, etc., also have the functions of regulating qi, expelling phlegm, generating body fluids, and moistening the lungs, which are very helpful for tonsillitis. In terms of food choices, it is best to choose easily digestible options, such as congee and noodles. Also, drink plenty of plain water regularly. However, avoid foods that may exacerbate the condition, such as seafood, dog meat, etc. While maintaining a proper diet, it is also important not to be picky or biased in eating to avoid nutritional deficiencies and weakened resistance, which could lead to recurrence.
