Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 9 years old. At first, he said that even drinking water made his throat hurt. He also had intense coughing and had been slightly feverish. Please ask: what dietary restrictions should a child with tonsillitis have when crying?Doctor's answer:
During the treatment of tonsillitis, diet is also a very important factor. It is recommended that mothers can let their children eat more vegetables and fruits. This is mainly because vegetables and fruits are not only light in taste but also rich in various vitamins and trace elements that the human body needs. Clearly, they can help children resist diseases. For example, apples, kiwis, etc., also have the effects of regulating qi, expelling phlegm, generating fluids, and moisturizing the lungs, which are very helpful for the quality of tonsillitis treatment. In terms of diet, it is advised to choose some easily digestible and soft foods, such as well-cooked noodles and porridge, which are both good options. While maintaining a light diet, it is also necessary to eat less irritant foods, such as poultry eggs, donkey meat, beef, and mutton. Diet is also very crucial for the treatment of tonsillitis, so pay close attention.
