Patient's question:
Boy, he is already 5 years old. At first, he said that even drinking water felt painful in his throat. He noticed that his cough seemed to be more severe as well, and it appeared that his low-grade fever had not subsided. Please ask: What are the dietary principles for children with tonsillitis who always cry?Doctor's answer:
If a child suffers from tonsillitis, in addition to prompt treatment, attention should also be paid to diet. First, it is advisable to consume more fresh fruits and vegetables, as they are rich in vitamins that can help boost immunity and alleviate symptoms. Examples include pears, apples, kumquats, and kiwis. For staple foods, it is best to choose softer options such as porridge or noodles to avoid difficulties in swallowing or worsening constipation. However, it is important to note that spicy and irritating foods, as well as certain "trigger foods," should be avoided during this period. Finally, it is also essential to help the child develop healthy eating habits, avoiding pickiness and preference for certain foods, to ensure a balanced diet and reduce the incidence of tonsillitis.
