Patient's question:
Boy, he is already 9 years old. At first, he felt a sore throat when speaking and noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse. At the same time, he has had a slight fever for a while. Please ask: What should be paid attention to in diet for children with tonsillitis and sore throat?Doctor's answer:
If a child has tonsillitis, the diet should first be kept light. Vegetables and fruits should be the main focus, 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, apples, kiwis, and others also have the functions of regulating qi, resolving phlegm, generating fluids, and moistening the lungs, which are very helpful for tonsillitis. It is advisable to choose foods that are easy to swallow and digest, such as congee, which are excellent choices. However, it is important to note that spicy and irritating foods, as well as certain "offensive" foods, are not recommended for children during this period. In addition to following the doctor's advice for treating tonsillitis, parents should also help their children develop good eating and living habits, which can aid in early recovery.
