Patient's question:
My son is 7 years old. At first, he felt a sore throat when speaking, and then discovered that his cough was quite severe. Additionally, it seems like his low-grade fever hasn't gone away. Could you please tell me: what are the dietary restrictions for children with tonsillitis and crying?Doctor's answer:
During the treatment of tonsillitis, diet is also a very important aspect. It is recommended that moms can give their children more vegetables and fruits. Fruits and vegetables are rich in vitamins and trace elements, and they are relatively light in flavor, so they are very helpful for the treatment of the disease. For fruits, we generally suggest choosing those that are neutral in nature and rich in vitamins, such as kumquats or kiwis. In daily diet, it is also important to focus on easily digestible and swallowable foods, so it is recommended to prioritize porridge and noodle dishes. The noodles must be cooked to be very soft. Additionally, spicy and irritating foods, such as hot pot or spicy noodle soup, as well as "trigger foods" like beef, lamb, or seafood, should not be given to children. Finally, it is also important to help children develop good eating habits.
