Patient's question:
Boy, he is already 3 years old. At first, he felt a sore throat when speaking and noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse. Moreover, he now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: What should children eat during the uncomfortable treatment for tonsillitis?Doctor's answer:
If a child has tonsillitis, the diet should first be kept light, with vegetables and fruits as the main components. The reason for encouraging children to eat more vegetables and fruits is primarily to supplement vitamins and trace elements, which helps boost immunity and aid in recovery. Options include pears, watermelon, kumquats, and pomegranates. For vegetables, green leafy greens and tomatoes are excellent choices. It is also important to choose easily digestible foods for the child, such as porridge, well-cooked noodles, and noodle skins. It is recommended to drink plenty of water. Additionally, avoid or limit the consumption of "heating" foods like lamb and dog meat. Parents should also help their children develop good eating habits, ensuring cleanliness and health, avoiding pickiness and partiality in their diet.
