Patient's question:

Girl baby, currently 1 year old, just starting, a little sore throat, noticed that, cough seems to be more severe, and also, seems like low-grade fever hasn't gone away, please ask: what should be noted in diet if the child has discomfort from tonsillitis.

Doctor's answer:

For the disease of tonsillitis in children, it is recommended to start with daily diet for regulation. Children can be encouraged to eat more fresh vegetables and fruits. Vegetables and fruits are relatively rich in nutrients, which can effectively help improve children's immunity. For example, the peel of jujube fruit, which is rich in vitamin C, has a good anti-inflammatory effect. Daily diet should consist of easily digestible foods, such as congee and noodles. However, it is important to note that spicy and irritating foods, as well as some foods that are considered "allergic triggers" should be avoided during this period. Finally, it is also important to help children develop good eating habits, avoiding picky eating and partiality, so that they can receive comprehensive nutrition and reduce the incidence of tonsillitis.
