Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 9 years old. At first, he felt a sore throat when speaking, noticed it accompanied by mild coughing, and also had low-grade fever. Please ask: What dietary precautions should be taken for children with uncomfortable tonsillitis?Doctor's answer:
For the disease of tonsillitis in children, it is recommended to start with daily diet for regulation. Children can be encouraged to eat more fresh vegetables and fruits. The nutritional content in vegetables and fruits is relatively rich, which can help improve children's immunity and thus aid in the healing of tonsils. For example, the peels of kumquats are rich in vitamin C, which has a strong anti-inflammatory effect. It is also important to choose easily digestible foods for children, such as porridge, well-cooked noodles, and noodle wrappers. At the same time, it is necessary to pay attention to minimizing the consumption of foods that may trigger exacerbation, such as beef, lamb, dog meat, and seafood, as these can worsen symptoms. Finally, it is also important to help children develop good dietary habits.
