Patient's question:
Female baby, only 2 months old, just starting, a bit of pain in the throat, noticed that cough seems to be more severe, and has been slightly feverish. Please ask: how to reasonably diet when the child has tonsillitis and red swelling.Doctor's answer:
For the treatment of tonsillitis in children, it is recommended to start with dietary adjustments. Encourage children to eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, as these foods are not only rich in vitamins and trace elements but also help boost the immune system. They are relatively light as well. However, when choosing fruits, avoid those that are too cold, opting instead for milder options like apples or kiwis. For staple foods, choose softer and easier-to-digest options such as porridge or noodles to prevent swallowing difficulties or worsening constipation. Additionally, avoid spicy and irritating foods like hot pot or (spicy noodle soup), as well as allergenic foods such as beef, lamb, or seafood. Parents should also help children develop good eating habits, ensuring cleanliness and health while avoiding picky or biased eating preferences.
