Patient's question:
My child is a baby boy, 1 year old. At first, when he started talking, he felt a sore throat, and noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse when he talked. Also, it seems like a low fever has not gone away. Please ask: If the child has tonsillitis and is uncomfortable, how should they have a reasonable diet?Doctor's answer:
During the treatment of tonsillitis, it is necessary to arrange the child's diet reasonably. First, the child can be given more vegetables and fruits. Vegetables and fruits are rich in nutrients, which can help improve the child's immunity and thus aid in the healing of the tonsils. For example, apples, kiwis, etc., have the effects of regulating Qi, resolving phlegm, nourishing fluids, and moisturizing the lungs, which are very helpful for the condition of tonsillitis. When choosing food, it is best to opt for easily digestible options, such as congee and noodle dishes, which are excellent choices. Additionally, it is important to drink plenty of plain water and avoid foods that may exacerbate the condition, such as beef, mutton, and dog meat. Seafood is also best avoided or consumed in moderation. In daily life, it is important to help the child develop good habits. In addition to a healthy diet, it is also necessary to maintain a regular sleep schedule (going to bed early and waking up early) and engage in appropriate physical activity.
