Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 6 years old, just starting. She says her throat hurts even when drinking water. She noticed that her cough is quite severe and she has had a slight fever all along. Please ask: What can children with swollen and red tonsils eat more of?Doctor's answer:
While treating children's tonsillitis, dietary care should also be given sufficient attention. It is generally recommended to give children more fruits and vegetables. The reason for encouraging children to eat more fruits and vegetables is mainly to supplement vitamins and trace elements, which helps boost immunity and facilitates quicker recovery. For example, pears are cooling in nature and have the effects of reducing fever, soothing the throat, expelling phlegm, and relieving pain, thereby alleviating symptoms of acute tonsillitis. 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. Parents should also help their children develop good eating habits, ensuring cleanliness and health, avoiding pickiness and partiality in diet.
