Patient's question:
My daughter is 1 year old. At first, she said she had a sore throat. It was found that she also had mild coughing. At the same time, it seems like a low fever that hasn't gone away. Please ask: what dietary precautions should be taken if the child has tonsillitis and is uncomfortable?Doctor's answer:
Children's tonsils are very prone to inflammation. If they occur, early examination and treatment should be sought. In terms of diet, it is recommended to focus on lighter foods such as vegetables and fruits. Vegetables and fruits are rich in vitamins, which help boost immunity. You can choose from pears, watermelons, kumquats, and pomegranates, among others. For vegetables, leafy greens and tomatoes are excellent options. Daily diet should also be easy to digest and swallow, so it is advisable to consume porridge and noodle dishes. The noodles must be cooked soft and smooth. Additionally, it is important to drink plenty of plain water and eat less stimulating foods like beef, mutton, and dog meat. Seafood should also be consumed sparingly or avoided. At the same time, it is necessary to help children correct their picky eating and food aversion habits to ensure comprehensive nutrient absorption.
