Patient's question:
My little boy is 2 years old. At first, he said his throat hurts even when drinking water. I noticed that his cough is quite severe, and he has had a slight fever for a while. I would like to know: what is the reasonable diet for a child with tonsil inflammation and crying?Doctor's answer:
During the treatment of tonsillitis in children, it is recommended to follow a light diet. You can offer your child more vegetables and fruits, as many fruits have the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying, and are rich in vitamins, which can help boost immunity and resist diseases. For example, the peels of kumquats, which are rich in vitamin C, have excellent anti-inflammatory effects. Choose foods that are easy to swallow and digest, such as thin porridge, which are great options. Foods that are considered "irritating" during this period, such as beef, lamb, poultry eggs, and seafood, should not be given to children. Of course, this also includes spicy and irritating dishes like hot pot and spicy noodles. At the same time, it is important to help children overcome picky eating and poor appetite habits to ensure that nutrients are fully absorbed.
