Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 9 months old. At first, he said it hurts when he swallows things. Noticed that his voice is a bit hoarse when he speaks, and he has had a slight fever all along. Please ask: For children with tonsillitis, what foods should they avoid if they feel very uncomfortable?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that parents promptly take their children to be treated if they have tonsillitis. In terms of diet, vegetables and fruits are relatively light and are a good choice for children during treatment. Additionally, vegetables and fruits are rich in vitamins, which help boost immunity. For fruits, we generally suggest choosing those that are neutral in nature and rich in vitamins, such as kumquats or kiwis. In other aspects of diet, it is advisable to opt for foods that are soft and easy to digest, such as well-cooked noodles and congee, which are excellent choices. At the same time, it is crucial never to give children certain trigger foods, such as seafood or dog meat, as these can be detrimental to their condition. Children with tonsillitis may experience complications, which can be very harmful to their health. Therefore, parents must ensure that their children receive proper treatment.
