Patient's question:
My little girl, who is 8 years old, initially felt a sore throat when speaking. She noticed that her voice had become a bit hoarse, and now she has a high fever that won't go down. Please advise: What are the dietary principles for children with tonsillitis who have no appetite?Doctor's answer:
During the treatment of tonsillitis, it is necessary to reasonably arrange the child's diet. First, the child can be given more vegetables and fruits. Vegetables and fruits are relatively rich in nutrients, which can effectively help improve the child's immunity. For example, pears, apples, kumquats, and kiwis are all good choices. Daily diet should choose easily digestible foods, such as porridge and noodles. It is recommended to drink more water. In addition, it is necessary to eat less or not eat irritating foods such as lamb and dog meat. Children with tonsillitis may develop some complications, which are very harmful to their health. Therefore, parents must help the child receive proper treatment.
