Patient's question:
Baby girl, only 5 months old. At first, she felt a sore throat when talking and found that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. Also, she had a slight fever and was lacking energy. Please ask: What should be paid attention to in diet for children with tonsillitis who always cry?Doctor's answer:
During the treatment of tonsillitis, diet is also a very important aspect. It is recommended that mothers can give their children more vegetables and fruits. Besides being light and non-irritating, these foods are also rich in nutrients, which helps in resisting the disease. For fruits, we generally suggest choosing those that are neutral in nature and rich in vitamins, such as kumquats or kiwis. Daily diet should also focus on being easy to digest and swallow, so it is advisable to have porridge or noodles as the main meals. Noodles must be cooked to be soft and smooth. It is also suggested to drink plenty of water. Additionally, it is recommended to eat less or avoid foods that are considered "heating" such as lamb or dog meat. For the treatment of tonsillitis, in addition to cooperating with the doctor, parents should also help their children develop good eating and lifestyle habits, which can help them recover sooner.
