Patient's question:
Baby boy, just turned 8 months old. At first, he had a slightly sore throat and found it a bit difficult to swallow. Additionally, he had a low fever. Please ask: What foods can a crying child with tonsillitis eat?Doctor's answer:
If a child develops tonsillitis, in addition to prompt treatment, attention should also be paid to diet. First, they can eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, as these contain rich nutritional elements that can help boost the child's immunity and thus aid in the recovery of the tonsils. For example, the peels of jujubes are rich in vitamin C, which has excellent anti-inflammatory properties. In daily diet, it is also important to focus on easily digestible and swallowable foods, so it is recommended to prioritize foods like porridge and noodles. The noodles must be cooked to be very soft. Additionally, spicy and irritating foods like hot pot or, as well as "inducing discharge" foods like beef, lamb, and seafood, should not be given to the child. Finally, parents should help the child develop good habits, maintain a regular schedule, engage in appropriate exercise, and improve their immunity, which can significantly reduce the incidence of the disease.
