Patient's question:
My son is 2 years old. At first, he said his throat hurts, and I noticed that swallowing seems a bit difficult. Also, he now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: What should be noted in the diet if the child has tonsil inflammation and a sore throat?Doctor's answer:
Children's tonsils are very prone to inflammation. If they occur, they should be examined and treated as early as possible. Regarding diet, it is recommended to focus on lighter options such as vegetables and fruits. Vegetables and fruits are relatively rich in nutrients and can help improve a child's immunity. You can choose items like pears, watermelon, kumquats, and pomegranates. For vegetables, green leafy greens and tomatoes are great choices. Daily meals should consist of easily digestible foods, such as porridge and noodles. Additionally, spicy and pungent foods like spicy hot pot and hotpot should be avoided, as well as "trigger foods" such as beef, lamb, and seafood. Lastly, parents should help their children develop good habits, maintain a regular schedule, engage in appropriate exercise, and boost their immunity, which can significantly reduce the incidence of illness.
