Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 9 years old, just started, saying it hurts when swallowing things, noticed that, coughing is quite severe, and at the same time, she already has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: What foods can children with tonsillitis eat more when they are uncomfortable?Doctor's answer:
Children with tonsillitis are advised to seek timely medical treatment. In terms of diet, vegetables and fruits are relatively light and are a good choice during the treatment period. Fruits and vegetables are rich in vitamins and trace elements, and they are also relatively light, making them very helpful for treating the illness. For example, pears are cooling and have the effects of reducing fever, soothing the throat, expelling phlegm, and relieving pain. They can alleviate the symptoms of acute tonsillitis, such as throat discomfort. For staple foods, it is best to choose soft and smooth options, such as porridge or noodles, to avoid difficulties in swallowing or worsening constipation. While maintaining a light diet, it is also important to limit the intake of "trigger foods," such as poultry, eggs, donkey meat, beef, and lamb. Parents should also help their children develop good eating habits, ensuring cleanliness and health, and avoiding picky or biased eating habits.
