Patient's question:
Female baby, only 2 months old. At first, she said it hurt to swallow, and then it was discovered that her cough was quite severe. Additionally, she now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: What dietary precautions should be taken for children with tonsillitis and swallowing difficulties?Doctor's answer:
While treating children's tonsillitis, dietary attention is also essential. It is generally recommended to give children more fruits and vegetables, as 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, apples, kumquats, and kiwis are all good choices. In terms of dietary selection, it is best to choose easily digestible foods, such as congee and noodles. It is advisable to drink plenty of water. Additionally, it is recommended to eat less or avoid "heating" foods like mutton and dog meat. Finally, it is important to help children develop healthy eating habits, avoiding pickiness and selective eating, so that they can get balanced nutrition and reduce the incidence of tonsillitis.
