Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 8 months old, just started, felt a sore throat when talking, found, accompanied by mild cough, and has had a slight fever all along. Please ask: What should a child with tonsillitis not eat?Doctor's answer:
During the treatment of tonsillitis, diet is also a very important aspect. It is recommended that mothers give their children more vegetables and fruits, as they are relatively rich in nutrients and can effectively help boost the child's immunity. When choosing fruits, it is advisable to opt for those that are neutral in nature and rich in vitamins, such as kumquats or kiwis. For staple foods, it is best to choose softer and finer options, such as porridge or noodles, to avoid difficulty swallowing or worsening constipation. Additionally, it is important to avoid giving children "trigger foods," such as beef, lamb, dog meat, and seafood, as these can exacerbate symptoms. Lastly, it is essential to help children develop healthy eating habits, avoiding pickiness and food preferences, to ensure a balanced diet and reduce the incidence of tonsillitis.
