Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 5 months old. At first, he said his throat hurt even when drinking water, and he also had mild coughing. Now, he has high fever that won't go down. Please ask: What are the dietary restrictions for children with tonsillitis who always cry?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 fruits and vegetables are rich in vitamins, which help boost the immune system. Options include pears, kiwis, and honeysuckle, which also have the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying. In terms of other dietary choices, it is recommended to opt for foods that are soft and easy to digest, such as well-cooked noodles and porridge, which are excellent choices. While maintaining a light diet, it is also advisable to avoid certain foods that may exacerbate the condition, such as poultry, eggs, donkey meat, beef, and lamb. In addition to following the doctor's advice for treating tonsillitis, parents should also help their children develop good dietary and lifestyle habits, which can aid in early recovery.
