Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 4 years old. At first, he felt pain in his throat even when drinking water. Then, we noticed he had severe coughing, and it seemed like his low fever never went away. Could you please advise: How to deal with children's tonsillitis during treatment? What should they eat?Doctor's answer:
It is essential to promptly treat tonsillitis in children. Additionally, their daily diet should include more vegetables and fruits, as many fruits have the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying, and are rich in vitamins, which can help boost immunity and resist diseases. We generally recommend choosing fruits that are neutral in nature and rich in vitamins, such as kumquats or kiwis. Daily meals should also be easy to digest and swallow, so it is advisable to focus on foods like porridge and noodles. The noodles must be cooked to be soft and smooth. However, it is important to avoid foods and certain "trigger foods" during this period. Lastly, parents should help their children develop good habits, maintain a regular schedule, engage in appropriate exercise, and enhance their immunity, which can significantly reduce the incidence of diseases.
