Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 8 months old, just started, a little sore throat, found that cough seems to be more serious, and it seems like low-grade fever hasn't gone away, please ask: what dietary precautions should be noted for children with tonsillitis and crying?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, mainly because vegetables and fruits are not only light but also rich in various vitamins and trace elements needed by the human body, which can obviously help children resist the disease. For example, pears, apples, kumquats, and kiwis are all good choices. It is also important to choose easily digestible foods for children, such as porridge, well-cooked noodles, and noodle skins. It is recommended to drink more water. Additionally, it is advisable to eat less or avoid foods that are considered "heating" in traditional Chinese medicine, such as mutton and dog meat. In daily life, it is also important to help children develop good habits. In addition to a healthy diet, they should also maintain a regular sleep schedule (going to bed early and waking up early) and engage in appropriate exercise.
