Question
A 5-year-old boy, at first, said he felt pain when swallowing, and noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse during conversation, accompanied by a low-grade fever. What are the dietary restrictions for children with tonsillitis who are crying and moaning?
Answer
Diet is also very important during the treatment of tonsillitis. It is recommended that parents give their children more vegetables and fruits, as they are rich in vitamins that can enhance immunity and improve symptoms. Choices of fruits such as pears, kiwis, and tangerines are recommended, as these fruits also have the function of clearing heat and detoxifying. In terms of diet, it is suggested to choose easily digestible foods such as soft noodles and congee. Additionally, it is important to drink plenty of plain water and eat less spicy and irritant foods like beef, mutton, and dog meat. It is best not to eat seafood. Finally, parents should help their children develop good living habits, maintain regular schedules, and engage in moderate exercise to enhance immunity, which can greatly reduce the incidence of diseases.
