Patient's question:
Boy, already 9 years old. At first, he said it hurts when he swallows things. It was noticed that his cough also seemed more severe, and at the same time, he had a slight fever and no energy. Please ask: What dietary precautions should be taken for children with tonsillitis, which is very uncomfortable?Doctor's answer:
It is essential to promptly treat a child for tonsillitis. Additionally, in daily diet, it is advisable to consume more vegetables and fruits, as they are rich in vitamins, which help boost the immune system. Fruits like pears and apples, for example, have the effects of clearing heat and reducing inflammation, so they can be eaten more frequently. In terms of other dietary aspects, it is recommended to choose foods that are soft and easy to digest, such as well-cooked noodles and porridge. Foods like beef, lamb, poultry, eggs, and seafood, which are considered "heating" or "irritating" foods, should be avoided during this period. Of course, this also includes spicy and pungent foods like hot pot and spicy noodles. Parents should also help their children develop good eating habits, ensuring cleanliness and health, avoiding pickiness and partiality in their diet.
