Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 5 months old. At first, he said his throat felt painful even when drinking water. He noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse when speaking, and he also had a low fever. Please ask: what foods can the child eat if he has tonsillitis and sore throat?Doctor's answer:
During the treatment of tonsillitis, diet is also a very important factor. It is recommended that moms give their children more vegetables and fruits, as the nutrient content in vegetables and fruits is relatively rich, which can help improve their immunity and thus aid in the healing of the tonsils. For example, the peels of kumquats, which are rich in vitamin C, have excellent anti-inflammatory effects. It is also important to choose easily digestible foods for the children, such as congee, well-cooked noodles, and noodle sheets. Additionally, spicy and irritating foods like hot pot and spicy hotpot should be avoided, as well as "trigger foods" like beef, lamb, and seafood. Finally, it is also important to help children develop healthy eating habits, avoiding picky and selective eating, so that they can get comprehensive nutrition and reduce the incidence of tonsillitis.
