Patient's question:
Boy, 8 years old, has started elementary school. At first, he said his throat hurts. It was found that he also has a mild cough. Additionally, he has had a slight fever for a while. Please ask: What should be noted in diet and behavior for children with tonsillitis and crying.Doctor's answer:
It is very important to help your child recover from tonsillitis and return to 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 the child's immunity and thus aid in the healing of the tonsils. However, when choosing fruits, it's important to avoid those that are too cold or cooling in nature. Opt for neutral ones, such as apples or kiwis. For main meals, it's best to choose soft and easy-to-eat options, like porridge or noodles, to avoid difficulty swallowing or worsening constipation. Additionally, drink plenty of plain water. But avoid "trigger foods" like seafood or dog meat. Diet is also very important for treating tonsillitis, so pay close attention.
