Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 8 years old. At first, she said it hurts when she swallows things. She noticed that her voice is a bit hoarse when she speaks, and it seems like her low fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: What can the child eat more when tonsillitis causes crying?Doctor's answer:
During the treatment for tonsillitis, the child's daily diet should primarily consist of light foods. It is advisable to consume more vegetables and fruits, as many fruits have the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying, and are rich in vitamins, which can help boost immunity and resist diseases. For fruits, pears and apples are recommended, while for vegetables, green vegetables, cabbage, and tomatoes are excellent choices. You can select based on the child's preferences. In terms of dietary choices, it is best to opt for easily digestible foods, such as congee and noodles. Additionally, it is important to drink plenty of plain water and avoid foods that may exacerbate the condition, such as beef, mutton, and dog meat. Seafood should also be consumed in moderation or avoided. While maintaining a proper diet, it is also crucial not to be picky or biased in eating habits to prevent nutritional deficiencies and weakened resistance, which could lead to recurrence.
