Patient's question:
Boy, already 2 years old, just started saying his throat hurts. It was found that his cough is quite severe, and he has had a slight fever for a while. Please ask: What are the dietary precautions for children with tonsillitis and poor appetite?Doctor's answer:
Children with tonsillitis are advised to be taken to the doctor for timely treatment. In terms of diet, vegetables and fruits are a good choice during the treatment period as they are light and rich in various vitamins and trace elements needed by the body, which can obviously help children fight the disease. We generally recommend choosing fruits that are neutral in nature and rich in vitamins, such as kumquats or kiwis. Daily meals should consist of easily digestible foods, such as congee or noodles. While maintaining a light diet, it is also important to avoid foods that may exacerbate the condition, such as poultry, eggs, donkey meat, beef, and lamb. Additionally, it is necessary to help children correct their picky eating and poor appetite habits to ensure comprehensive nutrient absorption.
