Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 7 years old, just started. Says drinking water makes her throat hurt, found that coughing is quite severe, and it seems like a low fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: What dietary precautions should be taken if the child has tonsillitis and is uncomfortable?Doctor's answer:
If a child contracts tonsillitis, it is very necessary to seek medical attention immediately. At the same time, parents should also pay attention to giving their child 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 children resist the disease. When it comes to fruits, it is recommended to choose pears, apples, etc., and for vegetables, options like green vegetables, cabbage, and tomatoes are all excellent. You can choose based on your child's preferences. In daily diet, it should focus on being light, easy to digest, and easy to swallow, such as congee and noodles, which are both very good choices. While maintaining a light diet, it is also important to eat fewer "trigger foods," such as poultry eggs, donkey meat, beef, and lamb. In daily life, it is also important to help children develop good habits. In addition to a healthy diet, they should also go to bed early, wake up early, and engage in appropriate exercise.
