Patient's question:
My little girl is 7 years old. At first, she felt a sore throat when speaking, and then discovered that her cough was quite severe. Additionally, it seems like her low-grade fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: What is a reasonable diet for a child with tonsillitis who is crying?Doctor's answer:
If a child suffers from tonsillitis, in addition to prompt treatment, attention should also be paid to diet. First, they can eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, as they are rich in vitamins that help boost the immune system. For fruits, pears and apples are recommended, while for vegetables, green vegetables, cabbage, and tomatoes are all good choices. You can choose based on the child's preferences. It's important to select foods that are easy to swallow and digest, such as porridge. During this stage, avoid giving the child foods that are considered "heating" or irritating, such as beef, lamb, poultry eggs, and seafood. Of course, this also includes spicy and pungent foods like hot pot and spicy noodles. Finally, it's also important to help the child develop good eating habits.
