Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 9 months old, just started, a little sore in the throat. Discovered that his voice is a bit hoarse when talking, and it seems like a low fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: How should young children with tonsillitis and sore throat have a reasonable diet?Doctor's answer:
During the treatment of tonsillitis, it is necessary to arrange a rational diet for the child. First, you can give the child more vegetables and fruits, as many fruits have the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying, and are rich in vitamins, which can help improve immunity and resist diseases. For fruits, it is recommended to choose pears, apples, etc., and for vegetables, green vegetables, cabbage, tomatoes, etc., are all good options. You can choose based on the child's preferences. In terms of other dietary aspects, it is advisable to choose some foods that are soft and easy to digest, such as well-cooked noodles and porridge. Additionally, the child should drink plenty of plain water. However, it is best to avoid foods that are considered "heating" or "irritating," such as seafood, dog meat, etc. Finally, parents should help the child develop good habits, maintain a regular routine, engage in appropriate exercise, and improve immunity, which can significantly reduce the incidence of diseases.
