Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 5 years old, just started, saying she has pain when swallowing things, found that her voice is a bit hoarse when speaking, and now she has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: What are the dietary restrictions for tonsillitis in children with sore throat?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, mainly because vegetables and fruits are not only light but also rich in various vitamins and trace elements needed by the human body, which can obviously help children resist diseases. Options include pears, watermelon, kumquats, and pomegranates. For vegetables, green leafy greens and tomatoes are excellent choices. In daily diet, it should focus on light, easy-to-digest, and easy-to-swallow foods, such as congee and noodles, which are very good. Foods like beef, lamb, poultry eggs, and seafood, which are considered "heating" or "irritating" foods during this period, should not be given to children. This also includes spicy and irritating foods like hot pot and spicy noodles. In daily life, it is also important 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.
