Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 1 year old. At first, when he spoke, he felt a sore throat. It was discovered that his cough was quite severe, and now he has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: What should be noted in the diet for a child with tonsillitis?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. Examples include pears, apples, kumquats, and kiwis, all of which are good choices. Daily diet should also be easy to digest and swallow, so it is recommended to focus on foods like porridge and noodles. The noodles must be cooked soft and smooth. While maintaining a light diet, it is also important to eat fewer "trigger foods" such as poultry, eggs, donkey meat, beef, and lamb. Finally, it is also necessary to help the child develop good eating habits.
