Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned 7 months old. At first, when talking, he felt a sore throat. It was found that his cough was quite severe, and also, it seems like his low fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: How should children with tonsillitis have a reasonable diet when they are not feeling well?Doctor's answer:
During the treatment for tonsillitis, the daily diet should primarily consist of light foods. You can eat more vegetables and fruits, as they are rich in vitamins that help boost the immune system. For example, pears have a cooling nature and can reduce fever, soothe the throat, alleviate phlegm, and relieve pain, thus easing the symptoms of acute tonsillitis. The daily diet should also include easily digestible foods, such as porridge and noodles. However, it is important to avoid spicy and irritating foods, as well as certain allergenic foods during this period. Parents should also help their children develop good eating habits, ensuring cleanliness and health, without being picky or fussy about food.
