Patient's question:
Female baby, only 7 months old, just starting to complain of pain when swallowing things. It was found that coughing seems to be quite severe as well. Additionally, she has had a slight fever for a while. Please ask: If the child has tonsillitis and difficulty swallowing, what can they eat more of?Doctor's answer:
If a child has tonsillitis, the diet should first be kept light. Vegetables and fruits can be the main focus. The reason for encouraging children to eat more vegetables and fruits is mainly to supplement vitamins and trace elements, which helps to boost the immune system and aid in recovery. Pears, kiwis, and honeybells are good choices, as they also have the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying. It is important to choose foods that are easy to swallow and digest, such as porridge. At the same time, parents should also pay attention not to let their children eat spicy, pungent, or greasy foods. Additionally, parents should help their children correct their picky eating and food aversion habits to ensure that nutrients are fully absorbed.
