Patient's question:
Boy, 10 years old, in primary school. At first, he felt a sore throat when speaking and noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. Additionally, he had a slight fever and lacked energy. Please ask: What are the dietary restrictions for children with tonsillitis and crying?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that parents take their children to seek medical treatment promptly if they have tonsillitis. In terms of diet, vegetables and fruits are relatively light and are a good choice during the treatment period. In addition to being light and non-irritating, these foods are also rich in nutrients, which helps boost the immune system to fight off illness. Options include pears, watermelon, kumquats, and pomegranates. For vegetables, green leafy greens and tomatoes are excellent choices. When selecting foods, it is best to opt for easily digestible options, such as congee and noodles. While maintaining a light diet, it is also important to avoid certain "trigger foods," such as poultry, eggs, donkey meat, and beef or lamb. Parents should also help their children develop good eating habits, ensuring cleanliness and health, while avoiding pickiness and preference for certain foods.
