Patient's question:
My little girl is 6 years old. At first, she said that even drinking water made her throat hurt. I noticed she also had a mild cough, and it seemed like her low-grade fever hasn't gone away. I would like to ask: What dietary precautions should be taken for children with tonsillitis who have no appetite?Doctor's answer:
During the treatment of tonsillitis, diet is also a very crucial aspect. It is recommended that mothers give their children more vegetables and fruits, as they are not only light but also rich in various vitamins and trace elements needed by the human body, which can obviously help children resist the illness. For fruits, it is generally advisable to choose those that are neutral in nature and rich in vitamins, such as kumquats or kiwis. Additionally, it is beneficial to provide children with easily digestible foods, such as thin porridge or well-cooked noodles. However, it is important to note that spicy and irritating foods, as well as certain foods that may aggravate the condition (known as "" in traditional Chinese medicine), should be avoided during this period. Diet plays a key role in the treatment of tonsillitis, and it is essential to pay attention to this.
