Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 8 years old, just starting. She says it hurts when she swallows things, and I noticed that swallowing seems a bit difficult. Also, she has had a slight fever all along. Please ask: What should a child with tonsillitis not eat when they are crying?Doctor's answer:
During the treatment of tonsillitis, it is necessary to arrange a reasonable diet for the child. First, the child can be encouraged to eat more vegetables and fruits. These foods are not only rich in vitamins and trace elements, which can help boost the immune system, but they are also relatively light and easy to digest. For example, apples, kiwis, and other fruits have the effects of regulating Qi, resolving phlegm, nourishing fluids, and moistening the lungs, which are very beneficial for the treatment of tonsillitis. It is also recommended to choose some easily digestible foods, such as porridge or well-cooked noodles, which are suitable for children during treatment. It is advised to drink plenty of water. Additionally, the child should eat less or avoid foods that are considered "heating" or "irritating," such as mutton or dog meat. Lastly, it is important to help the child develop good eating habits.
