Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 5 months old. He just started complaining of a sore throat, and it was found that he also had mild coughing, and he had been running a low fever. Question: If the child's tonsillitis is very uncomfortable, what should be noted in diet?Doctor's answer:
While treating pediatric tonsillitis, attention should also be paid to diet. It is generally recommended to give children more fruits and vegetables, as they are relatively rich in nutrients and can effectively help improve their immunity. Examples include pears, apples, kumquats, and kiwis, which are all good choices. In terms of other dietary aspects, it is advisable to choose foods that are soft and easy to digest, such as well-cooked noodles and porridge. While maintaining a light diet, it is also important to limit the consumption of certain foods that may exacerbate inflammation, such as poultry eggs, donkey meat, beef, and lamb. Additionally, it is essential to help children overcome picky eating and poor appetite habits to ensure comprehensive nutrient absorption.
