Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 5 years old, just started, says drinking water feels sore in the throat, found that cough seems to be more severe, and it seems like the low fever hasn't gone away, please ask: if the child has tonsil inflammation and feels uncomfortable, what are the dietary principles.Doctor's answer:
Pharyngitis is one of the more common diseases, requiring timely treatment. While treating it, it is important to feed children some vegetables and fruits. Besides being light and non-irritating, these foods are also rich in nutrients, which helps in resisting the disease. For example, pears are cool in nature and have the effects of reducing fever, soothing the throat, resolving phlegm, and relieving pain. They can alleviate the symptoms of acute pharyngitis in the throat. When it comes to staple foods, it is best to choose soft and fine options, such as congee or noodles, to avoid affecting swallowing or causing constipation that could worsen the condition. At the same time, it is important to avoid giving children certain trigger foods, such as beef, lamb, dog meat, and seafood, as they may aggravate symptoms. While maintaining a proper diet, it is also essential to avoid picky eating or partiality, as this can lead to nutritional deficiencies and a weakened immune system, potentially leading to recurrence.
