Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 8 years old. At first, he said it hurts when he swallows something, and it was found that his cough is also quite severe. Moreover, he has had a slight fever for a while. Please ask: What dietary precautions should be noted for infants and young children with tonsillitis who are crying?Doctor's answer:
Children's tonsils are very prone to inflammation. If they occur, it is important to seek medical attention as soon as possible. In terms of diet, it is recommended to focus on light foods such as vegetables and fruits. In addition to being light and non-irritating, these foods are also rich in nutrients, which helps to strengthen the body's ability to resist diseases. For example, the peels of kumquats are rich in vitamin C, which has a good anti-inflammatory effect. In daily meals, it is advisable to choose easily digestible foods such as congee and noodles. It is also recommended to drink plenty of water. Additionally, it is best to eat less or avoid foods that are considered "heating" such as mutton and dog meat. At the same time, it is also important to help children correct their bad habits of picky eating and poor appetite to ensure that nutrients are fully absorbed.
