Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 7 months old, just started, felt a sore throat when talking, noticed it, coughing is quite severe, and at the same time, he has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: what are the dietary principles for a child with tonsillitis and no appetite?Doctor's answer:
During the treatment of tonsillitis in children, it is recommended to follow a light diet. You can give your child more vegetables and fruits, as they are relatively rich in nutrients, which can help improve your child's immunity. Fruits like pears and apples have the effects of clearing heat and reducing inflammation, so it's a good idea to eat more of them. It is also suggested to choose easily digestible foods, such as porridge or well-cooked noodles, which are very suitable for children during treatment. While following a light diet, it is also important to avoid foods that may trigger a reaction, such as poultry eggs, donkey meat, beef, and lamb. In addition to proper diet, it is important not to be picky or biased in eating habits to avoid nutritional deficiencies and low resistance, which may lead to recurrence.
