Patient's question:
Boy, 8 years old, has started elementary school. At first, he said it hurt to swallow things, and it was noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. Now, he has high fever that won't go down. Question: What foods can young children with tonsillitis and swallowing difficulties eat more of?Doctor's answer:
If a child suffers from tonsillitis, seeking medical attention immediately is very necessary. At the same time, parents should also pay attention to giving their child 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 for treating the disease. Options include pears, kiwis, and kumquats, which also have the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying. It is important to choose foods that are easy to swallow and digest, such as congee, which are excellent choices. Additionally, (spicy) and pungent foods, such as spicy hot pot and hotpot, as well as allergenic foods like beef, lamb, and seafood, should not be given to children. For the treatment of tonsillitis, in addition to following the doctor's advice, parents should also help their children develop good eating and living habits, which can help them recover more quickly.
