Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 7 years old. At first, she said her throat hurts. It was found that her cough seems to be quite severe as well, and it seems like her low fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: What are the dietary taboos for tonsillitis and sore throat in children?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, as they are relatively rich in nutrients, which can effectively help boost your child's immunity. For example, the peels of honeysuckle, which are rich in vitamin C, have a good anti-inflammatory effect. For staple foods, it's best to choose softer options, such as porridge or noodles, to avoid difficulties in swallowing or worsening constipation, which could aggravate the condition. Foods like beef, lamb, poultry, eggs, and seafood, which are considered "heating" foods, should be avoided during this period. This also includes spicy and irritating foods like spicy hot pot or hot pot, as diet is very important for the treatment of tonsillitis. Please pay close attention.
