Patient's question:
Baby girl, only 7 months old, just starting. She says even drinking water feels painful in her throat, accompanied by mild coughing, and now she has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: What are the dietary principles for swallowing difficulties caused by tonsillitis in children?Doctor's answer:
During the treatment for tonsillitis, the daily diet should primarily be light and easy to digest. You can consume more vegetables and fruits, which are not only rich in vitamins and trace elements to help boost immunity but are also relatively light. Fruits like pears and apples, for example, have the effects of clearing heat and reducing inflammation and can be eaten more frequently. Choose foods that are easy to swallow and digest, such as congee, which are excellent options. At the same time, never give the child foods that may aggravate the condition, such as seafood or dog meat, as these are harmful to the illness. In daily life, it is also important to help the child develop good habits. In addition to a healthy diet, early sleep and wake times, along with appropriate exercise, are essential.
