Patient's question:
Boy, who is already 4 years old, initially said he had a sore throat. It was discovered that he also had a mild cough, and now he has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: What should infants and young children with tonsillitis not eat when they have no appetite?Doctor's answer:
During the treatment for tonsillitis, the daily diet should primarily focus on light foods. You can eat more vegetables and fruits, as many fruits have the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying, and are rich in vitamins, which can help boost immunity and resist diseases. You can choose from pears, kiwis, and honeysuckle, as they 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 options. Foods like beef, lamb, poultry, eggs, and seafood, which are considered "heating" foods, should be avoided during this period. Of course, this also includes spicy and irritating foods like hot pot and spicy noodles. In addition to following the doctor's advice, parents should also help their children develop good eating and living habits, which can aid in early recovery.
