Patient's question:
Female baby, currently 9 years old, just started, says drinking water also feels painful in the throat, found that swallowing seems a bit difficult, and accompanied by low fever. Please ask: is it very uncomfortable for the child's tonsillitis, and what should they not eat.Doctor's answer:
Wanting the child's tonsillitis to recover quickly and resume eating is very important. First, they should eat more fresh vegetables and fruits. The reason for letting the child eat more vegetables and fruits is mainly to supplement vitamins and trace elements, which helps to boost the immune system and aid in quick recovery. Fruits like pears and apples, for example, have the effect of clearing heat and reducing inflammation, so they can be eaten more. It is also important to choose easily digestible foods for the child, such as porridge, soft noodles, and noodle skins. During this period, foods that are considered "heating" and should be avoided include beef, lamb, poultry, eggs, and seafood. This also includes spicy and irritating foods like hot pot and spicy noodles. Finally, it is also important to help the child develop good eating habits, avoiding pickiness and being overly selective in their diet. This ensures a balanced nutrition and reduces the risk of tonsillitis.
