Oral ulcers, swollen lymph nodes, what to eat?

Patient's question:

I've been eating too much hot pot recently, and my body is feeling very fiery. The day before yesterday, after going to bed, I noticed my throat was extremely dry, and I had a small white bump in my mouth. At first, I didn't pay much attention, but it became increasingly swollen. The doctor said it was a canker sore and swollen lymph nodes, so he prescribed me some medication. I'd like to ask, what kind of food would be better for me to eat now?

Doctor's answer:

The throat is particularly dry and accompanied by small white bumps, which is mainly considered to be caused by recently consuming some foods that are quite irritating to the stomach. It could also be due to recent bacterial or viral infections. Currently, under the guidance of a specialist physician, you can take some anti-inflammatory or antiviral medications appropriately. At the same time, you can also brew some honeysuckle tea to drink. In terms of diet, it's important to avoid certain foods. In daily life, it's essential to maintain a good mood, as a positive attitude is very helpful for recovery from the illness.
