Patient's question:
Baby boy, just turned 9 months old, has just started to say that swallowing things hurts, and noticed that swallowing seems a bit difficult. At the same time, he has been slightly feverish. Could you please ask: if a child has tonsil inflammation and fever, what foods can they eat more of?Doctor's answer:
If a child has tonsillitis, the diet should first be kept light. It can mainly consist of vegetables and fruits, as they are not only light but also rich in various vitamins and trace elements needed by the body, which can obviously help the child resist the disease. You can choose apples, kiwis, and honeysuckle, among others, which also have the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying. It is also important to choose easily digestible foods for the child, such as porridge, well-cooked noodles, and noodle skins, etc. While maintaining a light diet, it is also necessary to eat fewer "trigger foods," such as poultry, eggs, donkey meat, beef, and lamb, etc. At the same time, it is also important to help the child correct bad habits like picky eating and loss of appetite to ensure comprehensive nutrient absorption.
