Patient's question:
My little girl, who is 9 years old this year, initially mentioned that she had pain when swallowing. I noticed that her cough was quite severe, and she had a low-grade fever. Could you please tell me: What are the dietary restrictions for young children with tonsillitis, and why do they often cry?Doctor's answer:
During the treatment of tonsillitis in children, it is recommended to follow a light diet. You can give your child more vegetables and fruits. Fruits and vegetables are rich in vitamins and trace elements, and they are relatively light in nature. Therefore, they are very helpful in the treatment of the disease. For fruits, we generally suggest choosing those that are neutral in nature and rich in vitamins, such as kumquats or kiwis. You can also give your child some easily digestible foods, such as thin porridge or well-cooked noodles. At the same time, you should also pay attention to avoiding foods that may aggravate symptoms, such as beef, lamb, dog meat, and seafood, as they may worsen the condition. Finally, it is also important to help your child develop good eating habits.
