Patient's question:
My son is 6 years old. At first, he said that even drinking water made his throat hurt. Then, he noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse when he spoke. At the same time, it seemed like he had a low fever that wouldn't go away. Please ask: What should be paid attention to in diet when a child has tonsillitis and difficulty swallowing?Doctor's answer:
During the treatment of tonsillitis in children, it is recommended to follow a light diet. You can give the child more vegetables and fruits. Fruits and vegetables are rich in vitamins and trace elements, and they are relatively light, so they are very helpful for the treatment of the disease. You can choose pears, watermelons, kumquats, and pomegranates, among others. For vegetables, green leafy vegetables and tomatoes are great options. It is also important to choose easily digestible foods for the child, such as porridge, well-cooked noodles, and noodle skins. While following a light diet, it is also necessary to avoid foods that may exacerbate the condition, such as poultry eggs, donkey meat, and beef or lamb. Diet is also very important for the treatment of tonsillitis, so pay close attention.
