Patient's question:
Boy, 9 years old, has started elementary school. At first, he felt a bit of pain in his throat. He noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse when he spoke, and it seemed like a low fever had not gone away. Please ask: How should children with tonsillitis and sore throat have a reasonable diet?Doctor's answer:
For the disease of tonsillitis in children, it is recommended to start with daily diet for regulation. Children can be encouraged to eat more fresh vegetables and fruits. These foods are not only rich in vitamins and trace elements, which can help boost immunity, but they are also relatively light in flavor. For example, the peels of kumquats are rich in vitamin C, which has a good anti-inflammatory effect. It is advisable to choose foods that are easy to swallow and digest, such as congee, which are excellent choices. At the same time, it is important to avoid foods that may aggravate symptoms, such as beef, lamb, dog meat, and seafood. In daily life, it is also necessary to help children develop good habits. In addition to a healthy diet, they should also maintain a regular sleep schedule (going to bed early and waking up early) and engage in appropriate exercise.
