Patient's question:
Boy, 10 years old, started primary school. At first, he felt a sore throat when speaking and noticed it, accompanied by mild coughing. Now, he has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: What should children with tonsillitis and no appetite avoid eating?Doctor's answer:
Children's tonsils are very prone to inflammation. Once they occur, it is important to seek early medical examination and treatment. For diet, it is recommended to focus on lighter foods such as vegetables and fruits. Vegetables and fruits are rich in vitamins, which can help boost the immune system. Options include pears, watermelon, kumquats, and pomegranates. For vegetables, green leafy greens and tomatoes are great choices. You can also give your child some easily digestible foods, such as thin porridge or well-cooked noodles. It is advisable to drink plenty of water. Additionally, you should limit or avoid foods that may exacerbate the condition, such as mutton and dog meat. At the same time, it is important to help your child overcome picky eating habits to ensure comprehensive nutrient absorption.
