Tonsillitis with redness and swelling in infants and young children: Attention to dietary matters

Patient's question:

Boy, just turned 4 months old, just started, feels a sore throat when talking, discovered that swallowing seems a bit difficult, accompanied by low fever. Please ask: What dietary precautions should be noted for infant tonsillitis with redness and swelling?

Doctor's answer:

While treating children's tonsillitis, attention should also be paid to diet. Generally, it is recommended to give children more fruits and vegetables to eat, as many fruits have the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying, and are rich in vitamins, which can help improve immunity and resist diseases. However, when choosing fruits, it is important to avoid those that are too cold and cool. You can choose some that are neutral in nature, such as apples, kiwis, and the like. It is also recommended to choose some easily digestible foods, such as porridge or well-cooked noodles, which are very suitable for children during treatment. Additionally, foods that are stimulating and spicy, such as hot pot and spicy noodles, as well as "offensive" foods like beef, lamb, and seafood, should not be given to children. Parents should also help their children develop good eating habits, ensuring cleanliness and health, and avoiding picky and biased eating habits.
