Patient's question:
Baby girl, only one month old, just starting, saying it hurts when swallowing things. Found that coughing is quite severe, and accompanied by low fever. Please ask: what dietary precautions should be taken if the child has tonsillitis and is crying?Doctor's answer:
Wanting your child's tonsillitis to recover from eating as soon as possible is very important. First, you should eat more fresh vegetables and fruits. These foods are not only rich in vitamins and trace elements, which can help boost immunity, but they are also relatively light in flavor. For example, pears are cooling and have the functions of reducing fever, soothing the throat, expectorating, and relieving pain, which can alleviate the symptoms of sore throat caused by acute tonsillitis. In daily diet, choose easily digestible foods, such as congee and noodles. It is recommended to drink plenty of water. Additionally, you should eat less or avoid foods that are considered "heating" (fā wù), such as lamb or dog meat. In the treatment of tonsillitis, besides cooperating with the doctor, parents should also help their children develop good eating and living habits, which can help them recover earlier.
