Patient's question:
Boy, 13 years old, in primary school. At first, he said he had a sore throat. It was found that swallowing seemed a bit difficult, and now he has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: What should be paid attention to in diet if the child has tonsillitis and cries?Doctor's answer:
During the treatment of tonsillitis, it is necessary to arrange a rational diet for the child. First, the child should be encouraged to eat more vegetables and fruits. The nutritional content in vegetables and fruits is quite rich, which can help improve the child's immunity and thus aid in the healing of the tonsils. For example, the peel of jujube fruit, which is rich in vitamin C, has excellent anti-inflammatory properties. It is also important to choose easily digestible foods for the child, such as porridge, well-cooked noodles, and thin dough. However, spicy and irritating foods, as well as certain noxious foods, should be avoided during this period. Parents should also help their children develop good eating habits, ensuring cleanliness and health, avoiding pickiness and partiality in their diet.
