Patient's question:
Boy, he is already 9 years old. At first, he said that even drinking water with his throat felt painful. He found that his cough seemed to be more severe as well, and he was a bit feverish and lacking energy. Please ask: How should a child with tonsillitis and no appetite have a reasonable diet?Doctor's answer:
It is very important to help children recover from tonsillitis and resume eating as soon as possible. First, they should eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, because vegetables and fruits are also rich in vitamins, which can help boost immunity and improve symptoms. When it comes to fruits, it is generally recommended to choose those that are neutral in nature and rich in vitamins, such as kumquats or kiwis. They should also choose foods that are easy to swallow and digest, such as congee, which is a good option. Foods like beef, lamb, poultry, eggs, and seafood, which are considered "heating" or "irritating" foods, should be avoided during this stage. Of course, this also includes spicy and irritating foods like hot pot or spicy noodles. Parents should also help their children develop good eating habits, ensuring cleanliness and health, and avoiding picky or biased eating habits.
