Patient's question:
My son is 9 years old. At first, he had a slight sore throat, and he noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse when he spoke. He has also had a low fever for a while. Could you please tell me what dietary restrictions there are for tonsillitis in children?Doctor's answer:
For the disease of tonsillitis in children, it is recommended to start with daily diet for regulation. Children can be encouraged to eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, as they are rich in vitamins, which helps boost immunity. For example, apples, kiwis, and other fruits have the effects of regulating qi, resolving phlegm, generating fluids, and moistening the lungs, which are very beneficial for tonsillitis. It is advisable to choose foods that are easy to swallow and digest, such as congee, which are excellent choices. At the same time, parents should also pay attention not to let children eat and sweets, while also helping them correct bad habits of picky eating and poor appetite to ensure comprehensive nutrient absorption.
