Patient's question:
Boy, he is already 6 years old. At first, he had a slightly sore throat. He noticed that his cough was quite severe, and he had a slight fever all the time. Please ask: Does the child have tonsillitis? What are the dietary taboos for poor appetite?Doctor's answer:
During the treatment of tonsillitis, it's important to arrange a reasonable diet for the child. First, the child should be given more vegetables and fruits. Fruits and vegetables are rich in vitamins and trace elements, and they are relatively light, so they are very helpful in treating the illness. For example, fruits like pears and apples have the effects of clearing heat and reducing inflammation, so it's recommended to eat more of them. In terms of other dietary choices, it's advisable to select foods that are soft and easy to digest, such as well-cooked noodles and porridge, which are both good options. Foods that are considered "heating" such as beef, lamb, poultry, eggs, and seafood should be avoided during this stage. This also includes spicy and irritating foods like hot pot and spicy soup. While maintaining a proper diet, it's also important to avoid picky eating and partiality to ensure the child doesn't lack nutrients, which could weaken their immunity and lead to recurrence.
