Patient's question:
My little girl is one year old. At first, she felt a sore throat when speaking and noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. Additionally, she had a slight fever and was lacking energy. Please ask: What should the child eat during the treatment period if they have a sore throat?Doctor's answer:
Children's tonsils are prone to inflammation, so if they occur, it is important to seek medical attention as soon as possible. As for diet, it is recommended to focus on lighter foods like vegetables and fruits. Vegetables and fruits are rich in vitamins, which can help boost the immune system. However, when choosing fruits, it is best to avoid overly cold or cooling options and opt for neutral ones instead, such as apples or kiwis. It is also important to choose easily digestible foods for the child, such as porridge, well-cooked noodles, or thin flatbread. Additionally, it is crucial to drink plenty of plain water and limit the intake of foods like beef, lamb, or dog meat. Seafood should also be consumed sparingly or avoided altogether. Parents should also help their children develop good eating habits, ensuring cleanliness and health, while avoiding picky or biased eating habits.
