Patient's question:
Baby girl, just one month old, just starting out. She says even drinking water feels painful in her throat. She seems to have difficulty swallowing, and she has had a slightly feverish feeling all along. Please ask: What are the dietary principles for tonsillitis and sore throat in children?Doctor's answer:
Children's tonsils are prone to inflammation, and if they occur, they should be checked and treated as early as possible. For diet, it is recommended to focus on light foods such as vegetables and fruits. This is because vegetables and fruits are rich in vitamins, which can help boost the immune system and alleviate symptoms. Fruits like pears and apples, for example, have the effects of clearing heat and reducing inflammation and can be eaten more often. In terms of other dietary choices, it is advisable to opt for foods that are soft and easy to digest, such as well-cooked noodles and porridge, which are both good options. It is also recommended to drink plenty of water. Additionally, try to minimize or avoid consuming irritating foods such as mutton and dog meat. At the same time, it is important to help children correct bad eating habits like picky eating and poor appetite to ensure that nutrients are fully absorbed.
