Child's tonsillitis with redness and swelling, how to eat a reasonable diet

Patient's question:

Female baby, currently 2 years old, just started to say it hurts when swallowing, noticed that coughing is quite severe, and it seems like the low fever hasn't gone away.: how should the child diet reasonably if the tonsils are inflamed and swollen?

Doctor's answer:

Children's tonsils are very prone to inflammation. If they occur, they should be checked and treated as soon as possible. In terms of diet, it is recommended to focus on lighter foods such as vegetables and fruits. Vegetables and fruits are relatively rich in nutrients, which can help improve a child's immunity. However, when choosing fruits, it is important to avoid those that are too cold. You can opt for some neutral ones, such as apples or kiwis. For staple foods, it is best to choose softer and finer options, such as congee or noodles, to avoid affecting swallowing or worsening constipation and the condition. At the same time, never give children foods that may trigger an adverse reaction, such as seafood or dog meat, as these are not beneficial for the condition. Parents should also help their children develop good eating habits, ensuring cleanliness and health, and avoiding picky or biased eating habits.
