Patient's question:
Boy, already 1 year old, just started, felt sore throat even when drinking water, found accompanied by mild cough, and it seems like low-grade fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: When a child with tonsillitis cries and screams, what dietary precautions should be noted?Doctor's answer:
It is essential to promptly treat your child for tonsillitis. Additionally, in daily diet, you can consume more vegetables and fruits. These foods are not only rich in vitamins and trace elements but can also help boost immunity. They are relatively light in flavor as well. However, when choosing fruits, avoid those that are too cold in nature. Opt for those that are neutral in properties, such as apples or kiwis. It is also recommended to choose easily digestible foods, such as porridge or well-cooked noodles, which are suitable for your child during treatment. Additionally, make sure to drink plenty of plain water and limit the intake of "heating" foods like beef, mutton, and dog meat. Seafood is best consumed in moderation or avoided altogether. In daily life, it is important to help your child develop good habits. Besides a healthy diet, ensure they get adequate sleep, maintain a regular sleep schedule, and engage in appropriate exercise.
