Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned 9 months old. At first, it was said that even drinking water with his throat felt painful, and it was noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. Also, he has had a slight fever all along. Please ask: If the child has tonsillitis and is uncomfortable, what kind of food can he eat?Doctor's answer:
Children's tonsils are very prone to inflammation. If they occur, it is important to get an early check-up and treatment. In terms of diet, it is recommended to focus on lighter foods such as vegetables and fruits. The reason for encouraging children to eat more vegetables and fruits is mainly to replenish vitamins and trace elements, which can help boost their immunity and aid in faster recovery. For fruits, pears and apples are good choices, while vegetables like green leafy vegetables, cabbage, and tomatoes are also excellent. You can select options based on the child's preferences. Daily meals should consist of easily digestible foods, such as porridge and noodles. It is also recommended to drink plenty of water. Additionally, it is advisable to limit or avoid foods that are considered "heating" or irritating, such as lamb and dog meat. Finally, it is important to help children develop good eating habits.
