Patient's question:
My son is 9 years old. At first, he said that even drinking water with his throat felt painful. Later, we noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. Additionally, he now has a high fever that won't go down. Could you please advise on the dietary principles for children with tonsillitis who are crying?Doctor's answer:
During the treatment of tonsillitis, diet is also a very important aspect. It is recommended that mothers can give their children more vegetables and fruits. The reason for encouraging children to eat more vegetables and fruits is mainly to supplement vitamins and trace elements, help improve immunity, and recover quickly. Options include pears, kiwis, and honeysuckle, which also have the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying. It is also suggested to choose some easily digestible foods, such as porridge or well-cooked noodles, which are very suitable for children during treatment. At the same time, parents should also pay attention not to let their children eat spicy or greasy foods. Complications may occur in children with tonsillitis, which is very harmful to their health. Therefore, parents must help their children receive proper treatment.
