Patient's question:
Girl baby, only 8 months old, just starting out. She feels like her throat hurts even when drinking water, and she notices that her voice is a bit hoarse when she speaks. At the same time, she has a slight fever and is lacking energy. Please ask: What dietary precautions should be taken when a young child with tonsillitis cries a lot?Doctor's answer:
Wanting your child's tonsillitis to recover from eating as soon as possible is a very important point. First, they should eat more fresh vegetables and fruits. This is mainly because vegetables and fruits are not only light but also rich in various vitamins and trace elements needed by the human body, which can obviously help children resist the disease. They can choose pears, watermelons, kumquats, and pomegranates, etc. For vegetables, green leafy vegetables and tomatoes are all great choices. They can also choose some easily digestible foods for their child, such as thin porridge or well-cooked noodles. During this period, they should avoid foods like beef, lamb, poultry eggs, and seafood, which are considered "stimulating" (fāwù). This also includes spicy and pungent foods like spicy hot pot and hot pot. While maintaining a proper diet, they should also pay attention not to be picky or biased in eating, so as to avoid nutritional deficiencies and low resistance, which may lead to recurrence.
