Patient's question:

Baby girl, only 9 months old, just started saying her throat hurts. Noticed that she also has a mild cough, and it seems like her low-grade fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: When the child has tonsillitis and difficulty swallowing, what dietary precautions should be taken?

Doctor's answer:

During the treatment of tonsillitis, diet is also a very important aspect. It is recommended that moms can let their children eat more vegetables and fruits. Vegetables and fruits are rich in vitamins, which help boost the immune system. For fruits, we generally suggest choosing those that are neutral in nature and rich in vitamins, such as honeysuckle and kiwifruit. It is advisable to choose foods that are easy to swallow and digest, such as congee. At the same time, parents should also pay attention not to let their children eat and services. Finally, parents should help their children develop good eating habits, avoiding picky and fussy eating, so that they can obtain comprehensive nutrition and reduce the incidence of tonsillitis.
