Patient's question:
Boy, 7 years old, has started primary school. At first, he felt a slight sore throat, and noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse when he spoke. Additionally, it seems like his low-grade fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: What are the dietary restrictions for children with tonsillitis and sore throat?Doctor's answer:
Children's tonsils are prone to inflammation, and if they occur, they should be examined and treated as early as possible. In terms of diet, it is recommended to focus on lighter foods such as 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 example, the peels of kumquats, which are rich in vitamin C, have excellent anti-inflammatory effects. It is also important to choose easily digestible foods for children, such as porridge, well-cooked noodles, and noodle wrappers. It is advisable to drink more water, and also to eat less or avoid foods that are considered "heating" such as mutton and dog meat. Finally, parents should help their children develop good habits, maintain a regular schedule, engage in appropriate exercise, and improve their immunity, which can significantly reduce the incidence of diseases.
