Patient's question:
My son is 7 years old. At first, he said it hurt when he swallowed something. Later, we noticed mild coughing, and now he has a high fever that won't go down. Could you please tell me what dietary restrictions there are for tonsillitis and sore throat in children?Doctor's answer:
During the treatment of tonsillitis, it is necessary to arrange a reasonable diet for the child. First, the child should be encouraged to eat more vegetables and fruits. This is mainly because vegetables and fruits are not only light but also rich in various vitamins and trace elements needed by the human body, which can obviously help the child resist the disease. However, when choosing fruits, it is important to avoid those that are too cold or cooling in nature. Opt for some neutral ones, such as apples or kiwis. In daily diet, attention should also be paid to easy digestion and easy swallowing, so it is recommended to focus on foods like porridge and noodles. The noodles must be cooked to be very soft. Additionally, the child should drink plenty of plain water. However, foods that may exacerbate the condition, such as seafood or dog meat, should be avoided. Diet is also very important for the treatment of tonsillitis, so it must be noted.
