Patient's question:
My son is 7 years old. At first, he said that even drinking water with his throat felt painful. He also noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse when he spoke. Additionally, it seems like he has had a low-grade fever that hasn't gone away. Could you please advise on what dietary precautions should be taken if the child has tonsillitis and is feeling very uncomfortable?Doctor's answer:
During the treatment of tonsillitis, diet is also a very important aspect. It is recommended that mothers can give their children more vegetables and fruits, as vegetables and fruits are rich in a lot of vitamins, which helps boost the immune system. For example, the peels of kumquats are rich in vitamin C, which has a good anti-inflammatory effect. Daily diet should choose easily digestible foods, such as congee, noodles, etc. At the same time, it is also necessary to pay attention to minimizing the child's intake of allergenic foods, such as beef, lamb, dog meat, and seafood, as they may exacerbate symptoms. Diet is also very crucial for the treatment of tonsillitis, so pay close attention.
