Patient's question:
My little girl is 7 years old. At first, she said that even drinking water felt painful in her throat, and she noticed mild coughing. Additionally, she now has a high fever that won't go down. I'd like to ask: What are the dietary restrictions for children with uncomfortable tonsillitis?Doctor's answer:
During the treatment of tonsillitis, it is necessary to arrange a reasonable diet for the child. First, the child should be encouraged to eat more vegetables and fruits. This is mainly because vegetables and fruits are not only light but also rich in various vitamins and trace elements required by the human body, which can obviously help the child resist the disease. For example, apples, kiwis, etc., have the effects of regulating qi, resolving phlegm, promoting fluid production, and moistening the lungs, which are very helpful for treating tonsillitis. In daily diet, easily digestible foods should be chosen, such as congee and noodles. At the same time, parents should pay attention not to let the child eat spicy, pungent, or greasy foods. In addition to following the doctor's advice, parents should also help the child develop good eating and living habits, which can help them recover sooner.
