Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 9 years old. At first, he had a slightly sore throat and noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. Additionally, he now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should children with tonsillitis eat a balanced diet when they constantly cry?Doctor's answer:
During the treatment of tonsillitis, it is necessary to arrange a reasonable diet for the child. First, the child can be given more vegetables and fruits. In addition to being light and non-irritating, these foods are also rich in nutrients, which helps to resist the disease. Examples include pears, apples, kumquats, and kiwis, all of which are good choices. Daily meals should consist of easily digestible foods, such as congee and noodles. At the same time, it is absolutely necessary not to give the child any "trigger foods," such as seafood or dog meat, as these are harmful to the condition. Finally, it is also important to help the child develop good eating habits.
