Patient's question:
Boy, he is already 8 years old. At first, he said that swallowing things was painful. It was found that his voice was a bit hoarse when speaking, and it seemed like a low fever that never went away. Please ask: what should be paid attention to in diet for tonsillitis and sore throat in children.Doctor's answer:
It is essential to promptly treat a child for tonsillitis upon discovery. Additionally, the daily diet should include more vegetables and fruits. Both fruits and vegetables are rich in vitamins and trace elements, and they are relatively light, making them very beneficial for the treatment of the condition. However, when choosing fruits, it is important to avoid those that are too cold or cooling in nature. Opt for fruits that are neutral in properties, such as apples or kiwis. You can also give the child some easily digestible foods, such as thin porridge or well-cooked noodles. During this period, avoid foods that are considered "heating" or irritating, such as beef, lamb, poultry eggs, and seafood. This also includes spicy and stimulating foods like hot pot or spicy noodle soup. Finally, it is important to help the child develop healthy eating habits, avoiding pickiness and food preferences, to ensure a balanced diet and reduce the incidence of tonsillitis.
