Patient's question:
My daughter is 5 years old. At first, she felt a sore throat when speaking and noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. She also had a low fever. Could you please advise on what foods she can eat if her tonsils are inflamed and she has a sore throat?Doctor's answer:
During the treatment of tonsillitis, diet is also a very important aspect. It is recommended that mothers can encourage their children to eat more vegetables and fruits. In addition to being light and non-irritating, these foods are also rich in nutrients, which helps to resist the disease. For example, apples, kiwis, etc., also have the effects of regulating qi, resolving phlegm, generating body fluids, and moistening the lungs, which are very helpful for the quality of tonsillitis treatment. It is also important to choose easily digestible foods for children, such as thin porridge, well-cooked noodles, and noodle skins. However, it is still necessary to pay attention that spicy and irritating foods, as well as some allergenic foods, are not recommended for children during this period. Finally, parents should help their children develop good habits, maintain a regular schedule, engage in appropriate exercise, and improve their immunity, which can significantly reduce the incidence of the disease.
