Patient's question:
Female baby, only 2 months old, just starting, feels sore throat even when drinking water, noticed it, accompanied by mild cough, and has been slightly feverish. Question: If the child has tonsillitis and cries, what are the dietary restrictions?Doctor's answer:
During the treatment of tonsillitis, diet is also a very crucial aspect. It is recommended that mothers give their children more vegetables and fruits. Vegetables and fruits are rich in vitamins, which help boost immunity. For example, apples, kiwis, and other fruits have the effects of promoting digestion, resolving phlegm, generating fluids, and moisturizing the lungs, which are very beneficial for the recovery of tonsillitis. 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, which are excellent choices. At the same time, it is absolutely essential not to give the child any "diseased-promoting" foods, such as seafood or dog meat, as these can be detrimental to the condition. While maintaining a proper diet, it is also important to avoid picky or biased eating habits to prevent nutritional deficiencies and weakened immunity, which could lead to recurrence.
