Patient's question:
Baby girl, only 8 months old. At first, her throat felt a bit sore, and then she started coughing quite intensely. Additionally, her high fever hasn't subsided yet. My question is: it's very uncomfortable for young children with tonsillitis during treatment—what should they eat?Doctor's answer:
During the treatment of tonsillitis in children, it is recommended to have a light diet. You can give the child more vegetables and fruits, as they are rich in nutritional elements that can help boost the child's immunity and thus aid in the healing of the tonsils. However, when choosing fruits, it is important to avoid those that are too cold in nature. Opt for some neutral-natured fruits, such as apples or kiwis. You should also choose foods that are easy to swallow and digest, such as thin porridge, which are excellent choices. Additionally, it is important to try to avoid foods that may aggravate the condition, such as beef, lamb, dog meat, and seafood, as they may worsen the symptoms. In daily life, it is also important to help the child develop good habits. In addition to a healthy diet, they should also maintain a regular sleep schedule, going to bed early and waking up early, and engage in appropriate exercise.
