Patient's question:
Boy, he is already 7 years old. At first, he felt soreness in his throat even when he drank water. He noticed that his cough seemed to be quite severe as well, and he had a slight fever and lacked energy. Please ask: What can the child eat more of if his tonsils are inflamed and swollen?Doctor's answer:
It is very important to help your child recover from tonsillitis and resume a normal diet as soon as possible. First, they should eat more fresh vegetables and fruits. Vegetables and fruits are rich in nutrients, which can help boost your child's immunity and thus aid in the healing of the tonsils. However, when choosing fruits, it is important to avoid those that are too cold in nature. Opt for some that are neutral in properties, such as apples or kiwis. It is also essential to provide your child with easily digestible foods, like porridge, well-cooked noodles, or soft bread. At the same time, make sure not to give them any "trigger foods," such as seafood or dog meat, as these can be detrimental to their condition. Parents should also help their children develop good eating habits, ensuring cleanliness and health, avoiding picky eating and food preferences.
