Patient's question:
Boys, already 4 years old. At first, he said it hurts when he swallows things. It was found that swallowing seems a bit difficult. At the same time, his high fever has not subsided. Please ask: What should be paid attention to regarding tonsil inflammation, crying, and diet for the child?Doctor's answer:
During the treatment for tonsillitis, the daily diet should first and foremost be light. You can eat more vegetables and fruits. The reason for encouraging children to consume more vegetables and fruits is mainly to replenish vitamins and trace elements, which helps boost immunity and aid quick recovery. For example, apples, kiwis, and other fruits have the additional benefits of regulating qi, resolving phlegm, nourishing fluids, and moisturizing the lungs, all of which are very helpful for tonsillitis. In terms of daily meals, it should be light, easy to digest, and easy to swallow, such as porridge and noodles, which are excellent choices. It is also recommended to drink plenty of water. Additionally, avoid or minimize the consumption of "heating foods" like mutton and dog meat. While maintaining a proper diet, it is important not to be picky or biased in eating to prevent nutritional deficiencies, weakened immunity, and recurrence.
