Patient's question:
Boy, 11 years old, in primary school. At first, he said his throat hurts. Upon observation, he has severe coughing. Additionally, he has had a slight fever for a while. Question: What dietary restrictions should the child follow if he has tonsillitis and cries frequently?Doctor's answer:
It is essential to promptly treat tonsillitis in children. Additionally, their daily diet should include more vegetables and fruits, as they are rich in vitamins, which can help boost immunity and alleviate symptoms. However, when choosing fruits, it is important to avoid those that are too cold or cooling in nature. Opt for fruits that are neutral in properties, such as apples or kiwis. You can also give your child some easily digestible foods, like thin porridge or well-cooked noodles. It is also important to drink plenty of plain water and limit the intake of "heating" foods such as beef, mutton, and dog meat. Seafood should also be consumed in moderation or avoided altogether. Lastly, help your child develop good eating habits.
