Patient's question:
My boy is 8 years old. At first, he felt a sore throat when speaking, noticed it, and had severe coughing. Also, it seems like he hasn't recovered from a low fever. Please ask: If the child has tonsillitis and is uncomfortable, what foods can he eat?Doctor's answer:
If a child has tonsillitis, the diet should first be kept light. Vegetables and fruits should be the main focus. These foods are not only rich in vitamins and trace elements, which can help boost immunity, but they are also relatively light. For example, the peels of honeyed oranges are rich in vitamin C, which has excellent anti-inflammatory effects. It is also recommended to choose easily digestible foods, such as porridge or well-cooked noodles, which are suitable for children during treatment. At the same time, avoid giving them "trigger foods," such as seafood or dog meat, as these are harmful to the condition. In daily life, it is also important to help children develop good habits. In addition to a healthy diet, they should maintain a regular sleep schedule (early to bed and early to rise) and engage in appropriate exercise.
