Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 7 years old. At first, he said that even drinking water made his throat hurt. He noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse when he spoke, and he had been slightly feverish for a long time. Please ask: What dietary restrictions are there for children with tonsillitis and sore throats?Doctor's answer:
If a child suffers from tonsillitis, in addition to prompt treatment, dietary attention should also be given. First, they can eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, as many fruits have the effects of clearing heat and detoxifying, and are rich in vitamins, which can help boost immunity and resist diseases. We generally recommend choosing fruits that are neutral in nature and rich in vitamins, such as kumquats or kiwis. They should also choose foods that are easy to swallow and digest, such as congee, which is a good option. Additionally, spicy and irritating foods like hot pot or spicy noodles, as well as allergenic foods like beef, lamb, and seafood, should not be given to the child. Finally, it is also important to help the child develop good eating habits.
