Patient's question:
Boy, 10 years old, in primary school. At first, he felt a little sore in his throat, noticed it, and swallowing seemed a bit difficult. Additionally, he had a slight fever and wasn't feeling well. Please ask: What should children with tonsillitis not eat when they have no appetite?Doctor's answer:
Children with tonsillitis are advised to be taken to the doctor promptly by their mothers. In terms of diet, vegetables and fruits are relatively light and are a good choice during the treatment period. Fruits and vegetables are rich in vitamins and trace elements, and they are relatively light, so they are very helpful for treating the illness. Options include pears, watermelon, kumquats, and pomegranates. For vegetables, green leafy greens and tomatoes are excellent choices. It is also recommended to choose easily digestible foods, such as porridge or well-cooked noodles, which are suitable for children during treatment. While maintaining a light diet, it is important to avoid certain foods that may exacerbate the condition, such as poultry, eggs, donkey meat, beef, and lamb. Children with tonsillitis may develop complications, which can be very harmful to their health. Therefore, parents must help their children receive proper treatment.
