Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 9 years old, just starting, a little sore throat, found that swallowing seems a bit difficult, and now has high fever that won't go down. Please ask: what dietary precautions should be noted for children with tonsillitis?Doctor's answer:
When treating pediatric tonsillitis, dietary management also requires sufficient attention. Generally, it is recommended to give children more fruits and vegetables, as they are rich in vitamins, which can help boost immunity and alleviate symptoms. However, when choosing fruits, it is important to avoid those that are overly cold or cooling in nature. Opt for neutral ones instead, such as apples or kiwis. Daily meals should consist of easily digestible foods, such as congee or noodles. Foods that are considered "dampness-inducing," like beef, lamb, poultry eggs, and seafood, should be avoided during this period. Of course, this also includes spicy and irritating foods like spicy hotpot or hotpot. Finally, it is essential to help children develop good eating habits.
