Patient's question:
Female baby, only 2 months old, just starting out. When she talks, she feels a sore throat. It's been discovered that her voice is a bit hoarse when she speaks. Additionally, she now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: During the treatment for tonsillitis, what should the child eat?Doctor's answer:
For tonsillitis in children, it is recommended to adjust their diet to alleviate the condition. Encourage children to eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, as they are not only light but also rich in various vitamins and trace elements essential for the body, which can help them resist the disease. For example, the vitamin C-rich hawthorn peel has excellent anti-inflammatory properties. In daily dietary intake, it is important to focus on easily digestible and swallowable foods. Therefore, it is advisable to consume foods like porridge and noodles, ensuring that the noodles are cooked until very soft. Foods such as beef, lamb, poultry eggs, and seafood, which are considered "heating" or inflammatory foods, should be avoided during this period. This also includes spicy and irritating foods like hot pot and spicy street food. Diet plays a crucial role in the treatment of tonsillitis and must be paid close attention to.
