Patient's question:
My male baby, who is 1 year old, initially felt a sore throat when speaking and noticed some difficulty swallowing. Additionally, he has now developed a high fever that won't subside. Could you please advise on dietary precautions for tonsillitis and sore throat in children?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. These foods are not only rich in vitamins and trace elements, which can help boost immunity, but they are also relatively light in flavor. For example, the peel of honeybells contains vitamin C, which has excellent anti-inflammatory properties. In daily meals, it is best to focus on light, easy-to-digest, and easy-to-swallow foods, such as congee and noodles. At the same time, avoid giving children "trigger foods," such as seafood or dog meat, as these can be detrimental to the condition. Finally, it is also important to help children develop good eating habits.
