Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned 8 months old. At first, he said his throat hurts. Upon noticing, he seems to have a bit of difficulty swallowing, and it seems like his low-grade fever hasn't gone away either. Could you please ask: What are the dietary precautions for infant tonsillitis?Doctor's answer:
During the treatment of tonsillitis in children, it is recommended to follow a light diet. You can give the child more vegetables and fruits, as they are rich in vitamins, which help boost the immune system. Examples include apples, kiwis, and others, which also have the effects of regulating qi, resolving phlegm, and moisturizing the lungs and nourishing the throat, providing significant help for tonsillitis. It is advisable to choose foods that are easy to swallow and digest, such as congee, which are excellent choices. It is also recommended to drink plenty of water. Additionally, you should avoid or limit the intake of foods that may exacerbate the condition, such as lamb, dog meat, and other foods. While maintaining a proper diet, it is also important to avoid picky eating and unbalanced nutrition to prevent nutritional deficiencies and weakened immunity, which could lead to recurrence.
