Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 2 years old. At first, he had a slightly sore throat, and I noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse when he spoke. Additionally, he had a slight fever and wasn't very energetic. I would like to ask: What dietary precautions should be taken for children with tonsillitis who often cry?Doctor's answer:
tonsillitis is one of the more common diseases at present, requiring timely treatment. while being treated, it is important to give children some vegetables and fruits. the reason for encouraging children to eat more vegetables and fruits is mainly to supplement vitamins and trace elements, helping to boost their immunity and aid in quick recovery. for example, fruits like pears and apples have the effects of clearing heat and reducing inflammation, so they can be eaten more frequently. in daily diet, it is also important to focus on easily digestible and swallowable foods. therefore, it is recommended to prioritize foods like porridge and noodles, which must be cooked to be soft and smooth. however, it is also necessary to avoid foods and some during this period, as they are not advisable for children to eat. parents should also help their children develop good eating habits, ensuring cleanliness and health, without being picky or biased in their food choices.
