Patient's question:
Boy, 11 years old, in primary school. At first, he said he had a sore throat. Upon observation, he also had mild coughing and low-grade fever. Question: What should the child eat during the treatment for tonsillitis and sore throat?Doctor's answer:
It is essential to promptly treat tonsillitis in children. Additionally, their daily diet should include more vegetables and fruits. Vegetables and fruits are relatively rich in nutrients, which can effectively help boost children's immunity. Good choices include pears, watermelons, kumquats, and pomegranates. For vegetables, green leafy greens and tomatoes are excellent options. You can also provide easily digestible foods, such as thin porridge or well-cooked noodles. At the same time, it is important to avoid foods that may exacerbate symptoms, such as beef, lamb, dog meat, and seafood. Lastly, parents should help their children develop healthy habits, maintain a regular sleep schedule, engage in appropriate exercise, and enhance their immunity, which can significantly reduce the incidence of diseases.
