Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 2 years old. At first, when he spoke, he felt a sore throat. It was found that his cough seemed to be more severe as well. Meanwhile, he now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: What should the child eat during the treatment for tonsillitis?Doctor's answer:
While treating pediatric tonsillitis, dietary attention is also crucial. Generally, it is recommended to give children more fruits and vegetables, as these foods are not only light and non-irritating but also rich in nutrients, which help boost immunity against diseases. For example, the peels of kumquats are rich in vitamin C, which has excellent anti-inflammatory effects. In terms of dietary choices, it is best to opt for easily digestible foods, such as congee or noodles. At the same time, avoid giving children "trigger foods," such as seafood or dog meat, as these can be detrimental to the condition. In addition to proper diet, it is important not to be picky or biased in eating to prevent nutritional deficiencies and weakened immunity, which could lead to recurrence.
