Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 4 months old. At first, there was a little pain in the throat. It was noticed that the cough seemed to be more severe as well. Additionally, the high fever hasn't subsided yet. Please ask: What can the child eat more when experiencing discomfort from tonsillitis?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that parents take their children to seek medical treatment promptly if they have tonsillitis. In terms of diet, vegetables and fruits are relatively light and are a good choice for children during their recovery period. Apart from being light and non-irritating, these foods are also rich in nutrients, which can help strengthen the immune system against illness. Fruits like pears, watermelon, kumquats, and pomegranates are excellent options. For vegetables, leafy greens and tomatoes are great choices. It's also advisable to provide easily digestible foods, such as thin porridge or well-cooked noodles. Drinking plenty of plain water is also important. However, it's best to avoid certain foods that may exacerbate the condition, such as seafood and dog meat. Parents should also help their children develop good eating habits, ensuring cleanliness and health, without pickiness or bias in their diet.
