Patient's question:
Boy, 10 years old, in primary school. At first, he had a slight sore throat, noticed it, and coughing became more severe. At the same time, he now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: What are the dietary principles for tonsillitis with redness and swelling in children?Doctor's answer:
During the treatment of tonsillitis, it is important to arrange a reasonable diet for the child. First, the child should be encouraged to eat more vegetables and fruits. Fruits and vegetables are rich in vitamins and trace elements, and they are relatively light in flavor, which is very beneficial for the treatment of the disease. For example, fruits like pears and apples have the effects of clearing heat and reducing inflammation, so they can be eaten more. The daily diet should consist of easily digestible foods, such as congee and noodles. Additionally, it is important to drink plenty of plain water and eat less "heating" foods like beef, mutton, and dog meat. Seafood is also best avoided or eaten in moderation. At the same time, it is necessary to help the child correct bad habits like picky eating and poor appetite to ensure that nutrients are fully absorbed.
