Patient's question:
My male child is 5 years old. At first, he felt a sore throat when speaking, noticed it accompanied by mild coughing, and also had a slight fever and no energy. Please ask: What dietary restrictions should be followed for children with tonsillitis who constantly cry?Doctor's answer:
If a child suffers from tonsillitis, in addition to prompt treatment, attention should also be paid to diet. First, they can eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, as vegetables and fruits are relatively rich in nutrients, which can effectively help improve the child's immunity. Options include pears, kiwis, and honeysuckle, which also have the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying. In daily meals, it should focus on light, easy-to-digest, and easy-to-swallow foods, such as porridge and noodles. Additionally, they should drink plenty of plain water, but avoid certain foods that may exacerbate the condition, such as seafood and dog meat. Finally, it's also important to help the child develop good eating habits.
