Patient's question:
My male child, he is 1 year old. At first, he had a slightly sore throat, and then I noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse when he spoke. Also, he had a low fever. Please ask: What foods can children eat if they have a sore throat and tonsillitis?Doctor's answer:
It is very important to help your child recover from tonsillitis and resume eating as soon as possible. First, they should eat more fresh vegetables and fruits. Many fruits have the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying, and are rich in vitamins, which can help improve immunity and resist diseases. You can choose from pears, watermelons, kumquats, and pomegranates. As for vegetables, green leafy greens and tomatoes are excellent choices. It is also important to choose easily digestible foods for your child, such as porridge, well-cooked noodles, and noodle sheets. However, spicy and pungent foods, as well as some trigger foods, are not recommended for them during this time. Parents should also help their children develop good eating habits, ensuring hygiene and health, and avoiding pickiness or food preferences.
