Patient's question:
Boy, 11 years old, in primary school. At first, he felt a sore throat when speaking and found that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. Also, he had been slightly feverish for a long time. Please ask: What can the child eat more when he has tonsillitis and a sore throat?Doctor's answer:
If a child suffers from tonsillitis, in addition to prompt treatment, dietary attention should also be given. First, they can eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, as the nutritional content in vegetables and fruits is rich, which can help boost the child's immunity and thus aid in the healing of the tonsils. For example, the peels of kumquats are rich in vitamin C, which has excellent anti-inflammatory effects. In terms of diet, it is recommended to choose foods that are soft and easy to digest, such as well-cooked noodles and porridge, which are both good options. However, it is important to avoid spicy and irritating foods, as well as certain "trigger foods" during this period, as they are not advisable for children. Finally, parents should help their children develop good habits, maintain a regular sleep schedule, engage in appropriate exercise, and enhance their immunity, which can significantly reduce the incidence of the disease.
