Boy, he is already 7 years old. At first, he said that even drinking water with his throat felt painful. He noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse when he spoke. Additionally, he now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: What should be paid attention to in diet for infants and young children with tonsillitis who always cry?Doctor's answer:
During the treatment of tonsillitis, it is important to arrange a reasonable diet for the child. First, the child should be encouraged to eat more vegetables and fruits. The reason for this is mainly to supplement vitamins and trace elements, which helps boost immunity and aid in a quicker recovery. Examples of good choices include pears, apples, kumquats, and kiwis. It is advisable to choose foods that are easy to swallow and digest, such as congee. Additionally, and spicy foods like hot pot and spicy noodles, as well as allergenic foods like beef, lamb, and seafood, should not be given to the child. While maintaining a proper diet, it is also important to avoid picky eating and biased eating habits to prevent nutritional deficiencies and weakened resistance, which could lead to recurrence.
