Patient's question:
Baby girl, only 9 months old. At first, she said she had pain when swallowing things. She noticed that her cough seemed to be more severe as well, and she had a slight fever and was lacking energy. Could you please advise on the dietary precautions for a child with tonsillitis who cries a lot?Doctor's answer:
It is very important to help your child recover from tonsillitis and resume a normal diet as soon as possible. First, they should eat plenty of fresh vegetables and fruits. This is mainly because vegetables and fruits are not only light and refreshing but also rich in various vitamins and trace elements that the body needs. Clearly, they can help your child fight the illness. You can choose from pears, kiwis, and golden raisins, which also have the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying. Additionally, you can give your child some easily digestible foods, such as thin porridge or well-cooked noodles. During this stage, avoid giving them foods that are considered "heating" or "irritating," such as beef, lamb, poultry, eggs, and seafood. Of course, this also includes spicy and pungent foods like hot pot or spicy soup. Finally, it’s essential to help your child develop good eating habits.
