Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned 5 months old. At first, he said he had pain when swallowing things, and then it was discovered that his cough was quite severe, and he also had a low fever. Please ask: What can the child eat more when he has tonsillitis and sore throat?Doctor's answer:
During the child's treatment for tonsillitis, the daily diet should first and foremost be light. It is recommended to consume more vegetables and fruits, as they are not only light but also rich in various vitamins and trace elements needed by the body, which can help the child fight the disease. For example, apples and kiwis have the additional benefits of regulating qi, resolving phlegm, generating fluids, and moistening the lungs, which are very helpful for treating tonsillitis. In terms of other dietary choices, it is advisable to select foods that are soft and easy to digest, such as well-cooked noodles and porridge, which are excellent options. At the same time, it is important to avoid foods that may exacerbate symptoms, such as beef, lamb, dog meat, and seafood, as they can worsen the condition. In addition to following the doctor's treatment plan, parents should also help their children develop good eating and living habits, which can aid in a quicker recovery.
