Patient's question:
Baby girl, only 9 months old, just starting out. When she talks, she feels a sore throat. She found that her voice is a bit hoarse when she talks. Also, she has a slight fever and is not very energetic. Please ask: how should the child's diet be adjusted when tonsillitis causes crying?Doctor's answer:
It is very important to help children recover from tonsillitis and resume a normal diet as soon as possible. First, they should eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, as many fruits have the effects of clearing heat and detoxifying, and are rich in vitamins, which can help boost immunity and fight off diseases. For example, apples and kiwis also have the functions of regulating Qi, resolving phlegm, generating fluids, and moisturizing the lungs, which are very beneficial for tonsillitis. In terms of diet, it is recommended to choose foods that are soft and easy to digest, such as well-cooked noodles and congee. Additionally, it is important to drink plenty of plain water. However, foods that may irritate the condition, such as seafood and dog meat, should be avoided. Finally, it is also important to help children develop good eating habits.
