Patient's question:
My son is 3 years old. At first, he said his throat hurts. I noticed that his cough is quite severe, and he also has a slight fever and lacks energy. Could you please advise on what children with tonsillitis should eat during treatment when they have no appetite?Doctor's answer:
tonsillitis is one of the more common diseases at present, requiring timely treatment. while being treated, it is important to feed the child some vegetables and fruits. apart from being light and non-irritating, these foods are also rich in nutrients, which helps in resisting the disease. for fruits, we generally recommend choosing those that are neutral in nature and rich in vitamins, such as kumquats or kiwis. in daily diet, it is advisable to choose easily digestible foods, such as congee or noodles. however, it is also important to note that spicy and irritating foods, as well as some allergenic foods, are not recommended for children during this period. in addition to proper diet, it is also important to avoid picky eating and partiality to prevent nutritional deficiencies and weakened immunity, which may lead to recurrence.
