Patient's question:
My little girl, she's 5 years old. At first, she said her throat hurt, and I noticed her coughing quite severely. She's also had a slight fever all along. Here's the question: If the child has tonsillitis and is in pain, what's a reasonable diet for her?Doctor's answer:
During the treatment of tonsillitis in children, it is recommended to follow a light diet. You can give the child more vegetables and fruits. Vegetables and fruits are relatively rich in nutritional elements, which can effectively help boost the child's immunity. For example, the peels of honey oranges are rich in vitamin C, which has excellent anti-inflammatory effects. It is also important to choose easily digestible foods for the child, such as thin porridge, well-cooked noodles, or noodle sheets. Foods that are considered "inducing factors" like beef, lamb, poultry, eggs, and seafood should be avoided during this period. This also includes spicy and irritating foods like hot pot or. In addition to proper diet, it is important not to be picky or biased in eating habits to avoid nutritional deficiencies and lowered resistance, which could lead to recurrence.
