Patient's question:
My boy is 7 years old. At first, he felt a sore throat when speaking, and then he found that his cough was quite severe. Additionally, it seems like his low fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: What are the dietary restrictions for children with tonsillitis and why they cry?Doctor's answer:
During the treatment of tonsillitis, diet is also a very important aspect. It is recommended that moms give their children more vegetables and fruits. Fruits and vegetables are rich in vitamins and trace elements, and they are relatively light in flavor, so they are very helpful in the treatment of the disease. For fruits, we generally suggest choosing those that are neutral in nature and rich in vitamins, such as kumquats or kiwis. In daily diet, it is also important to focus on easy-to-digest and easy-to-swallow foods, so it is advisable to prioritize thin porridge and noodle dishes. The noodles must be cooked to be very soft. Additionally, spicy and pungent foods, such as hot pot or spicy noodles, should not be given to children, as well as "allergic foods" like beef, lamb, or seafood. Lastly, it is also important to help children develop good eating habits.
