Patient's question:
Boy, he is already 5 years old. At first, he said his throat hurts. Upon noticing, his cough seems to be quite severe as well, and it seems like his low fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: What should infants and young children with tonsillitis eat during the treatment period when they are constantly crying?Doctor's answer:
If a child has tonsillitis, the diet should first be kept light. Vegetables and fruits should be the main focus. The reason for encouraging children to eat more vegetables and fruits is primarily to supplement vitamins and trace elements, which helps boost immunity and aid in quick recovery. For fruits, it is generally recommended to choose those that are neutral in nature and rich in vitamins, such as kumquats or kiwis. Additionally, you can offer easily digestible foods, such as thin porridge or well-cooked noodles. It's also important to drink plenty of plain water. However, foods that may exacerbate the condition, such as seafood or dog meat, should be avoided. Lastly, parents should help their children develop good habits, maintain a regular schedule, engage in appropriate exercise, and enhance immunity. This can significantly reduce the incidence of illness.
