Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned 4 months old. At first, he said his throat hurts. He noticed it accompanied by mild coughing, and now he has a high fever that won't go down. Question: How should the child be fed reasonably if he has red and swollen tonsils?Doctor's answer:
tonsillitis is one of the more common diseases currently, requiring timely treatment. While treating, it's important to ensure the child consumes some vegetables and fruits. Fruits and vegetables are rich in vitamins and trace elements, and are relatively light in flavor, making them very helpful in the treatment of the illness. For fruits, we generally recommend choosing those that are neutral in nature and rich in vitamins, such as kumquats or kiwis. In terms of diet, it's advisable to opt for easily digestible options like well-cooked noodles or porridge. However, it's important to avoid spicy and irritating foods, as well as certain foods that may exacerbate the condition during this period. Additionally, it's important to help the child overcome picky eating habits to ensure comprehensive nutrient absorption.
