Patient's question:
Boy, 13 years old, in primary school. At first, he had a slightly sore throat and noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse when he spoke. Additionally, he had a low fever. Question: What are the dietary precautions for a child with tonsillitis who is crying and having difficulty eating?Doctor's answer:
It is essential to promptly treat a child for tonsillitis. Additionally, the daily diet should include 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. You can choose from pears, kiwis, and honeysuckle, as they also have the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying. The daily diet should also be easy to digest and swallow, so it is recommended to focus on foods like porridge and noodles. The noodles must be cooked to be soft and smooth. During this stage, avoid giving the child foods like beef, lamb, poultry eggs, and seafood, as well as spicy and irritating foods like spicy hot pot and hotpot. Diet is also very important for the treatment of tonsillitis, so pay close attention.
