Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 8 years old. At first, she had a sore throat, noticed it, accompanied by mild coughing. At the same time, it seems like her low-grade fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: What are the dietary principles for children with tonsillitis who have difficulty swallowing?Doctor's answer:
During the treatment of pediatric tonsillitis, it is recommended to follow a light diet. You can give the child more vegetables and fruits, as the nutritional content in vegetables and fruits is relatively rich, which can help improve the child's immunity and thus aid in the healing of the tonsils. For example, pears are cooling in nature and have the effects of reducing fever, soothing the throat, expelling phlegm, and relieving pain. They can alleviate the symptoms of acute tonsillitis, such as sore throat discomfort. You should choose foods that are easy to swallow and digest, such as porridge, which are excellent choices. Foods that are considered "heating" or irritating, such as beef, lamb, poultry, eggs, and seafood, should be avoided during this period. Of course, spicy and irritating foods like hot pot and spicy pot noodles should also be avoided. Pediatric tonsillitis can lead to complications, which are very harmful to the child's health. Therefore, parents must ensure that their children receive proper treatment.
