Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 7 years old, just started, feels sore throat when speaking, found, cough is quite severe, and, has had a slight fever for a while, please ask: Is it very uncomfortable for children with tonsillitis, what are the dietary restrictions?Doctor's answer:
It is very important to help your child recover from tonsillitis and resume a normal diet as soon as possible. First, they should eat more fresh vegetables and fruits. Vegetables and fruits are rich in nutrients, which can help boost your child's immunity and thus aid in the healing of the tonsils. When it comes to fruits, it is generally recommended to choose those that are neutral in nature and rich in vitamins, such as kumquats or kiwis. You should also choose foods that are easy to swallow and digest, such as congee, which is a good option. During this stage, avoid giving your child foods that are considered "heating" or "irritating," such as beef, lamb, poultry, eggs, and seafood. This also includes spicy and pungent foods like spicy hot pot or hotpot. In addition to a proper diet, it is important not to be picky or biased in eating habits to avoid nutritional deficiencies and weakened immunity, which could lead to recurrence.
