Patient's question:

Boy, already 3 years old, at the beginning, felt sore throat even when drinking water, noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse when speaking, and also had a slight fever and no energy. Please ask: What are the dietary precautions for tonsillitis with redness and swelling in children?

Doctor's answer:

During the treatment of tonsillitis, it is necessary to arrange a reasonable diet for the child. First, the child should be encouraged to eat more vegetables and fruits, as many fruits have the effects of clearing heat and detoxifying, and are rich in vitamins, which can help boost immunity and resist diseases. Fruits like pears and apples, for example, have the effects of clearing heat and reducing inflammation and can be eaten more frequently. Daily meals should consist of easily digestible foods, such as porridge and noodles. At the same time, parents should also pay attention not to let the child eat spicy or greasy foods. While maintaining a proper diet, it is also important to avoid picky eating and partiality to food to prevent nutritional deficiencies and weakened resistance, which could lead to recurrence.
