Patient's question:
My son is 9 years old. At first, he felt a sore throat when speaking and noticed mild coughing. Additionally, he now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: What should a child with tonsillitis eat during the crying and treatment period?Doctor's answer:
Children's tonsils are prone to inflammation, and if they occur, they should be examined and treated as early as possible. In terms of diet, it is recommended to focus on lighter foods such as vegetables and fruits. In addition to being light and non-irritating, these foods are also rich in nutrients, which helps to strengthen the body's resistance to diseases. For example, pears, apples, kumquats, and kiwis are all good choices. For staple foods, it is best to choose softer and finer options, such as porridge or noodles, to avoid affecting swallowing or worsening constipation. At the same time, parents should also pay attention not to let their children eat spicy or irritating foods. Finally, it is also important to help children develop good eating habits, avoiding picky eating and fussy eating, so that they can get comprehensive nutrition and reduce the incidence of tonsillitis.
