Patient's question:
My little girl is 4 years old. At first, she said she had pain when swallowing, and I noticed she also had mild coughing. Now, she has high fever that won't go down. Please advise: what dietary precautions should be taken for children with tonsillitis, as it can be very uncomfortable.Doctor's answer:
While treating children's tonsillitis, dietary attention is also crucial. It is generally recommended to give children more fruits and vegetables, as they are rich in vitamins and trace elements, and are relatively light in flavor, which is very helpful for treating the disease. For example, apples, kiwis, and others also have the effects of regulating qi, resolving phlegm, generating fluids, and moisturizing the lungs, which are very beneficial for tonsillitis. Daily diet should also pay attention to easy digestion and easy swallowing, so it is recommended to focus on thin porridge and noodle foods. Noodle foods must be cooked to be very soft, and at the same time, parents should pay attention not to let children eat stimulating, spicy, and greasy foods. Diet is also very important for the treatment of tonsillitis, and must be paid attention to.
