Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 8 years old. At first, he said his throat hurt even when drinking water, and he noticed that his cough was quite severe. Moreover, he now has a high fever that won't go down. Could you please tell me: what dietary precautions should be taken when a child with tonsillitis cries?Doctor's answer:
For the disease of tonsillitis in children, it is recommended to start with daily diet for regulation. Children can be encouraged to eat more fresh vegetables and fruits. The reason for encouraging children to eat more vegetables and fruits is mainly to supplement vitamins and trace elements, which helps to enhance immunity and promote faster recovery. For example, the peels of kumquats are rich in vitamin C, which has a good anti-inflammatory effect. Daily diet should also pay attention to easy digestion and swallowing, so it is recommended to focus on thin porridge and noodle foods. Noodle foods must be cooked to be very soft, and at the same time, it is also necessary to pay attention to minimizing the consumption of allergenic foods, such as beef, mutton, dog meat, and seafood, which may exacerbate symptoms. Diet is also very important for the treatment of tonsillitis, and must be paid attention to.
