Patient's question:
Baby boy, just turned 8 months old. At first, he had a little sore throat, and then it was discovered that his cough was quite severe. Also, it seems like his low-grade fever hasn't gone away either. Please ask: What dietary precautions should be taken for children with tonsillitis who always cry?Doctor's answer:
During the treatment of tonsillitis in children, it is recommended to have a light diet. Encourage the child to eat more vegetables and fruits, as many fruits have the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying, and are rich in vitamins, which can help boost immunity and resist diseases. For example, the peels of kumquats are rich in vitamin C, which has a good anti-inflammatory effect. You can also choose some easily digestible foods for the child, such as thin porridge or well-cooked noodles. During this stage, avoid giving the child foods that are considered "heating" or "irritating," such as beef, lamb, poultry eggs, and seafood. This also includes spicy and pungent foods like hot pot or spicy soup noodles. Tonsillitis in children can lead to some complications, which can be very harmful to their health. Therefore, parents must ensure that their children receive proper treatment.
