Patient's question:
Boy, he is already 2 years old. At first, he said his throat hurts. It was noticed that his voice is a bit hoarse when he speaks. Moreover, he now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: What are the dietary precautions for tonsillitis and sore throat in children?Doctor's answer:
Children's tonsils are very prone to inflammation. If they occur, it is important to seek medical attention as soon as possible. In terms of diet, it is recommended to focus on light foods such as vegetables and fruits. Many fruits have the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying, and are rich in vitamins, which can help boost immunity and resist diseases. For example, apples, kiwis, and others also have the functions of regulating qi, resolving phlegm, generating fluids, and moisturizing the lungs, which are very beneficial for treating tonsillitis. In daily diet, it should be light, easy to digest, and easy to swallow, such as congee and noodles, which are excellent choices. Foods like beef, lamb, poultry, eggs, and seafood should be avoided during this period, as well as stimulating and spicy foods like hot pot and spicy soup. Finally, it is also important to help children develop good eating habits, avoiding picky eating and fussy eating, so that they can get comprehensive nutrition and reduce the incidence of tonsillitis.
