Patient's question:
My little girl, who is 1 year old this year, started to feel a sore throat when speaking. She noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult, and she also had a slight fever and was lacking energy. Could you please advise on how to have a reasonable diet if the child has tonsillitis and difficulty swallowing?Doctor's answer:
tonsillitis is one of the more common diseases today, requiring timely treatment. during treatment, it is important to give children some vegetables and fruits. the reason for encouraging children to eat more vegetables and fruits is primarily to supplement vitamins and trace elements, helping to boost their immunity and aid in quick recovery. when it comes to fruits, we generally recommend choosing those that are neutral in nature and rich in vitamins, such as kumquats or kiwis. it is advisable to select foods that are easy to swallow and digest, such as congee, which are excellent choices. at the same time, never give children foods that might aggravate the condition, such as seafood or dog meat, as these can be harmful to the illness. lastly, it is also important to help children develop good dietary habits.
