Patient's question:
Boy, 13 years old, in primary school. At first, he said his throat hurt. It was found that swallowing seemed a bit difficult, and he had been slightly feverish. Please ask: How should the child with tonsillitis and crying have a reasonable diet?Doctor's answer:
If a child has tonsillitis, the diet should first be kept light. Vegetables and fruits should be the main components, as they are not only light but also rich in various vitamins and trace elements needed by the body, which can help the child fight the disease. For example, apples, kiwis, and other fruits have the effects of regulating qi, resolving phlegm, generating fluids, and moistening the lungs, which are very helpful for tonsillitis. In daily diet, easily digestible foods should be chosen, such as congee and noodles. At the same time, avoid giving the child "trigger foods," such as seafood or dog meat, as these are detrimental to the condition. Pediatric tonsillitis can lead to complications, which are very harmful to the child's health. Therefore, parents must ensure that the child receives proper treatment.
