Patient's question:
My little girl is one year old. At first, when she spoke, she felt a sore throat. She noticed it, and her cough was quite severe. Moreover, she now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: What should be noted in diet when a child has tonsillitis and cries.Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that parents take their children with tonsillitis to seek treatment promptly. In terms of diet, vegetables and fruits are relatively light and are a good choice for children during their recovery. Vegetables and fruits are rich in nutrients, which can help boost the child's immunity and thus aid in the healing of the tonsils. For fruits, pears and apples are recommended, while for vegetables, green vegetables, cabbage, and tomatoes are excellent options. Parents can choose based on their child's preferences. It is also advisable to opt for easily digestible foods, such as porridge or well-cooked noodles, which are suitable for children during their recovery. While maintaining a light diet, it is important to avoid certain foods that may exacerbate the condition, such as poultry, eggs, donkey meat, beef, and lamb. Lastly, parents should help their children develop good habits, maintain a regular sleep schedule, engage in appropriate exercise, and enhance their immunity, which can significantly reduce the incidence of illness.
