Patient's question:
Female baby, currently 3 years old. At first, she felt pain even when drinking water with her throat, and was found to have mild coughing as well. Moreover, she now has persistent high fever. Please ask: what dietary restrictions should be avoided when the child has discomfort from tonsillitis?Doctor's answer:
Children's tonsils are prone to inflammation, and if they occur, they should be examined and treated as early as possible. In terms of diet, it is recommended to focus on lighter foods such as vegetables and fruits. These foods are not only rich in vitamins and trace elements but can also help boost the immune system. Additionally, they are relatively light in flavor. Examples include pears, apples, tangerines, and kiwis, all of which are excellent choices. Daily diet should also be easy to digest and swallow, so it is advisable to consume foods like porridge and noodles. Noodles must be cooked to be soft and smooth. Additionally, it is important to drink plenty of plain water and eat less mutton, dog meat, and other foods that may irritate the condition. Seafood should also be consumed in moderation or avoided altogether. Finally, it is essential to help children develop good eating habits.
