Patient's question:
A female baby, only 6 months old. At first, she felt pain in her throat even when drinking water, and she noticed mild coughing. Now, she has a high fever that won't go down.：What are the dietary precautions for a sore throat caused by tonsillitis in the child?Doctor's answer:
During the treatment for tonsillitis, the daily diet should primarily consist of light foods. You can eat more vegetables and fruits, as many fruits have the effects of clearing heat and detoxifying, and are rich in vitamins, which can help improve immunity and resist diseases. For example, apples and kiwis also have the functions of regulating qi, resolving phlegm, generating fluids, and moisturizing the lungs, which are very beneficial for the recovery of tonsillitis. It is also recommended to choose easily digestible foods, such as porridge or well-cooked noodles, which are suitable for children during treatment. Additionally, drink plenty of plain water, but avoid certain foods that may aggravate the condition, such as seafood, dog meat, etc. Complications may arise from pediatric tonsillitis, which can be very harmful to a child's health. Therefore, parents must help their children receive proper treatment.
