Patient's question:
Baby girl, only 7 months old. At first, she felt a sore throat when talking, noticed that her voice was a bit hoarse, and also had a slight fever and was lacking energy. Please ask: What foods can young children with tonsillitis eat more of for comfort?Doctor's answer:
During the treatment for tonsillitis, the daily diet should primarily be light. You can eat more vegetables and fruits. In addition to being light and non-irritating, these foods are also rich in nutrients, which helps to boost the immune system and fight off the illness. Fruits like pears and apples, for example, have cooling and anti-inflammatory effects, so it's recommended to eat more of them. It's also advised to choose easily digestible foods, such as porridge or well-cooked noodles, which are suitable for children during treatment. Additionally, and spicy foods like hot pot and spicy instant noodles should be avoided, as well as "offensive" foods such as beef, lamb, and seafood. Finally, it's important to help children develop healthy eating habits, avoiding pickiness and preference for certain foods, to ensure a balanced diet and reduce the incidence of tonsillitis.
