Patient's question:
Boy, 7 years old, has started elementary school. At first, he said he had a sore throat. It was noticed that his cough is quite severe, and now he has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: What dietary restrictions should be followed for children with tonsillitis who are crying?Doctor's answer:
It is essential to promptly treat tonsillitis in children. Additionally, their daily diet should include more vegetables and fruits. Aside from being light and non-irritating, these foods are also rich in nutrients, which help in boosting immunity and resisting diseases. You can choose from pears, watermelon, kumquats, and pomegranates, among others. For vegetables, green leafy greens and tomatoes are excellent options. In terms of other dietary aspects, it is advisable to choose foods that are soft and easy to digest, such as well-cooked noodles and congee. It is also important to drink plenty of plain water, but avoid "trigger foods" like seafood and dog meat. In daily life, it is necessary to help children develop good habits, including healthy eating, going to bed early and waking up early, and engaging in regular exercise.
