Patient's question:
My little girl is 7 years old. At first, she said that even drinking water with her throat felt painful. She also had mild coughing. Additionally, she now has a high fever that won't go down. Could you please tell me: What are the dietary restrictions for children with tonsillitis discomfort?Doctor's answer:
During the treatment of tonsillitis, it is necessary to arrange a reasonable diet for the child. First, the child should be encouraged to eat more vegetables and fruits. This is mainly because vegetables and fruits are not only light but also rich in various vitamins and trace elements required by the human body, which can obviously help the child resist the disease. For example, apples, kiwis, and others have the effects of regulating qi, resolving phlegm, generating fluids, and moistening the lungs, which are very helpful for the treatment of tonsillitis. In daily diet, easily digestible foods should be chosen, such as congee and noodles. At the same time, parents should also pay attention not to let the child eat spicy foods or greasy foods. In addition to cooperating with the doctor, parents should also help the child develop good dietary and lifestyle habits, which can help them recover earlier.
