Patient's question:
Boy, 10 years old, has started elementary school. At first, he said he had a sore throat. It was noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse when he spoke. At the same time, he had a slight fever and lacked energy. Please ask: What should infants and young children with tonsillitis not eat when they constantly cry?Doctor's answer:
For the disease of tonsillitis in children, it is recommended to start with dietary adjustments. Encourage children to eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, as both are rich in vitamins and trace elements, and are relatively light, making them very beneficial for treating the condition. For fruits, pears and apples are good choices, while for vegetables, green vegetables, cabbage, and tomatoes are excellent options. You can select based on the child's preferences. Additionally, you can choose easily digestible foods, such as thin porridge or well-cooked noodles. While maintaining a light diet, it's important to eat fewer "trigger foods" such as eggs, donkey meat, beef, and lamb. Lastly, parents should help their children develop good habits, maintain a regular schedule, engage in appropriate exercise, and boost their immunity, which can significantly reduce the occurrence of the disease.
