Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 2 years old, just starting to complain that it hurts when she swallows things. Noticed that her voice sounds a bit hoarse when she talks. At the same time, she now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: If the child's tonsils are swollen and uncomfortable, what foods can they eat?Doctor's answer:
During the treatment of tonsillitis, it is important to reasonably arrange the child's diet. First, you can let the child eat more vegetables and fruits because many fruits have the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying, and they are rich in vitamins, which can help improve immunity and resist diseases. You can choose fruits like pears, kiwis, and honeysuckle, as they also have the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying. For staple foods, it is best to choose softer and finer options, such as porridge or noodles, to avoid affecting swallowing or causing constipation that could worsen the condition. At the same time, never give the child "trigger foods," such as seafood or dog meat, as these are harmful to the condition. Finally, parents should help the child develop good habits, maintain a regular schedule, engage in appropriate exercise, and improve immunity, which can significantly reduce the occurrence of the disease.
