Patient's question:
Boys, already 7 years old. At first, he said it hurts when he swallows something. It was found that his voice is a bit hoarse when he speaks, and at the same time, it seems like a low fever that hasn't gone away. Please ask: Does the child have tonsil inflammation? What should be paid attention to in the diet?Doctor's answer:
During the treatment of tonsillitis, it is necessary to arrange a rational diet for the child. First, the child can be encouraged to eat more vegetables and fruits. The nutritional content in vegetables and fruits is relatively rich, which can help improve the child's immunity and thus aid in the healing of the tonsils. For example, apples, kiwis, and other fruits have the functions of regulating qi, resolving phlegm, generating fluids, and moisturizing the lungs, which are very beneficial for the treatment of tonsillitis. In terms of dietary choices, it is best to opt for easily digestible foods, such as congee and noodles, which are excellent options. Additionally, it is important to drink plenty of plain water and avoid foods that may exacerbate the condition, such as beef, mutton, and dog meat. Seafood should also be consumed in moderation or avoided. While maintaining a proper diet, it is also important to avoid picky eating and food preferences to prevent nutritional deficiencies and weakened resistance, which could lead to recurrence.
