Patient's question:
Boy, 12 years old, in primary school. At first, he had a slight sore throat, noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult, and it seemed like a low fever that never went away. Please ask: What can the child eat more when tonsillitis makes him cry?Doctor's answer:
During the treatment of tonsillitis in children, it is recommended to follow a light diet. Encourage the child to eat more vegetables and fruits, as they are relatively rich in nutrients and can effectively boost the child's immunity. For fruits, pears and apples are good choices, while vegetables like leafy greens, cabbage, and tomatoes are also excellent. You can select based on the child's preferences. In terms of other dietary aspects, it is advisable to choose foods that are soft and easy to digest, such as well-cooked noodles and porridge. Additionally, it is important to drink plenty of plain water and limit the intake of "heating" foods like beef, lamb, and dog meat. Seafood should also be consumed in moderation or avoided. Finally, it is essential to help the child develop healthy eating habits, avoiding pickiness and food refusal, to ensure a balanced diet and reduce the incidence of tonsillitis.
