Patient's question:
Female baby, currently 3 years old. At first, she said it hurts when she swallows something. It was found that her voice is a bit hoarse when she speaks, and at the same time, she has a slight fever and lacks energy. Please ask: How should children with tonsillitis eat a reasonable diet?Doctor's answer:
It is very important to help your child recover from tonsillitis and resume normal eating as soon as possible. First and foremost, they should eat plenty of fresh vegetables and fruits. This is because vegetables and fruits are rich in vitamins, which can help improve the immune system and alleviate symptoms. When it comes to fruits, it is generally recommended to choose those that are neutral in nature while being rich in vitamins, such as kumquats or kiwis. As for staple foods, opt for softer and finer options, like porridge or noodles, to avoid difficulties in swallowing or worsening constipation. Additionally, it is important to drink plenty of plain water and consume less fatty foods like beef, lamb, or dog meat. Seafood is also best avoided or consumed in moderation. At the same time, it is essential to help your child overcome picky eating and poor appetite habits to ensure comprehensive nutrient absorption.
