Patient's question:
Baby boy, just turned 6 months old. At first, he had a slightly sore throat, and then we noticed he also had mild coughing, and it seemed like his low-grade fever never went away. Could you please advise on what foods he can eat when he has tonsillitis and is always crying?Doctor's answer:
When discovering tonsillitis, it is essential to promptly treat the child. Additionally, the daily diet should include more vegetables and fruits, as many fruits have the function of clearing heat and detoxifying while being rich in vitamins, which can help boost immunity and resist diseases. You can choose from pears, kiwis, and honeysuckle, among others, as they also have the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying. It is advisable to select foods that are easier to swallow and digest, such as porridge, which are excellent choices. At the same time, you should also pay attention to minimizing the child's intake of irritant foods, such as beef, mutton, dog meat, and seafood, as these can exacerbate symptoms. Additionally, it is important to help the child overcome picky eating and poor appetite habits to ensure comprehensive nutrient absorption.
