Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned 3 months old. At first, it was said that even drinking water made his throat hurt. Noticed that, coughing also seemed quite severe. Moreover, he now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: What can children with tonsillitis eat more when they have no appetite?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that parents take their children to seek medical treatment promptly if they have tonsillitis. In terms of diet, vegetables and fruits are relatively light and are a good choice for children during their recovery period. The main reason for encouraging children to eat more vegetables and fruits is to supplement vitamins and trace elements, which can help boost their immunity and aid in a faster recovery. For fruits, pears and apples are recommended, while for vegetables, options like leafy greens, cabbage, and tomatoes are excellent choices. Parents can choose based on their child's preferences. Daily meals should also focus on easy-to-digest and swallow foods, so it is advisable to prioritize porridge and noodle dishes. Noodles must be cooked to be very soft. Additionally, (stimulating and spicy foods) like hot pot and spicy noodle soup, as well as (trigger foods) like beef, lamb, and seafood, should not be given to children. It is also important to help children overcome picky eating and poor appetite habits to ensure comprehensive nutrient absorption.
