I took my son in to see the dr last night and they did a strep test. I got the results this morning and they were positive. I have not picked up the prescription yet but will be leaving here soon to do so. I am looking for ideas on what to feed him that won't hurt his throat to much. He hates jello and pudding and yogurt. So they only soft mushy thing I could think of was mashed potatoes. You can only eat so many mashed potatoes and popsicles in a day. LOL Does anybody have any other 9 year old and sore throat friendly food ideas?
I, both my kids, and my DH have had strep several times this year, and about all I can say is "Good Luck!" It was totally unpredictable for us - things I couldn't imagine hurting would just burn on the way down. I'd suggest you totally give up any hope of a good diet and let him eat whatever he can manage until it's over. Try gatorade.
I've had strep alot in the past few years and the only thing that bothered me was orange juice because it made my throat burn.To much citrus or acid.
I actually like hard crunchy food like chips it helped scrape off the junk(pus) in my throat therefore I believe I got better faster. I know to much info and kinda weird.
Hi A.
When my son had strep throat he ate applesauce popsicles and a lot of orange juice(i thought it would have made his throat hurt worse but he said no)He really did not have an appetite for almost a week after being on antibiotics. Maybe you could try mac & Cheese. Hope he feels better soon:)T.
my mom used to make me jello with hot water and give to me as a liquid before it set, yummy and felt good on the throat. also, how about scrammbled eggs, soup, ramen noodles, bananas, smoothies....
