Patient's question:
Boy, 8 years old, in primary school. At first, he said it hurts when he swallows. It was noticed that swallowing seems a bit difficult, and now he has high fever that won't break. Please ask: What can young children with tonsillitis and swallowing difficulties eat more of?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, it is very necessary to seek medical attention immediately. At the same time, parents should also pay attention to giving their children more vegetables and fruits. Fruits and vegetables are rich in vitamins and trace elements, and they are relatively light in flavor, so they are very helpful in treating the disease. Options like pears, kiwis, and tangerines can be chosen, as they also have the effects of clearing heat and detoxifying. It is important to choose foods that are easy to swallow and digest, such as congee, which are good choices. Additionally, spicy and pungent foods like hot pot or spicy hotpot, as well as allergenic foods like beef, lamb, and seafood, should not be given to the child. In the treatment of tonsillitis, besides cooperating with the doctor, parents should also help their children develop good eating and living habits, which can help them recover sooner.
