Patient's question:
My son is 7 years old. At first, he said his throat was sore, and then we noticed mild coughing. Additionally, he now has a high fever that won't go down. Please advise: What should be noted in diet for children with tonsillitis?Doctor's answer:
It is essential to promptly treat tonsillitis in children. Additionally, their daily diet should include more vegetables and fruits. Vegetables and fruits are relatively rich in nutrients, which can effectively boost children's immunity. Good choices include pears, watermelons, kumquats, and pomegranates. For vegetables, green leafy greens and tomatoes are excellent options. In terms of other dietary aspects, it is recommended to choose foods that are soft and easy to digest, such as well-cooked noodles and porridge. It is also important to drink plenty of plain water and avoid foods that may trigger inflammation, such as beef, lamb, and dog meat. Seafood should also be consumed in moderation or avoided. In daily life, it is crucial to help children develop good habits. In addition to a healthy diet, they should maintain a regular sleep schedule (going to bed early and waking up early) and engage in appropriate physical activity.
