Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 4 years old, just starting, a little sore throat, noticed that her voice is a bit hoarse when speaking, and also a bit feverish and lacking energy. Please ask: How should children with tonsillitis cry reasonably in terms of diet?Doctor's answer:
If a child suffers from tonsillitis, in addition to prompt treatment, diet should also be given attention. First, they can eat more fresh fruits and vegetables. The reason for encouraging children to eat more fruits and vegetables is mainly to supplement vitamins and trace elements, which helps boost immunity and aid in a quicker recovery. Examples include pears, apples, kumquats, and kiwis, all of which are good choices. For staple foods, it's best to opt for softer options like porridge or noodles to avoid difficulties in swallowing or worsening constipation. Foods like beef, lamb, poultry, eggs, and seafood, which are considered "heating" foods, should be avoided during this period. This also includes spicy and irritating foods like hot pot or spicy noodle soup. In addition to following the doctor's advice for treating tonsillitis, parents should also help their children develop good eating and lifestyle habits, which can contribute to a faster recovery.
