Patient's question:
Baby girl, only 8 months old. At first, she said her throat hurts, and it was noticed that swallowing seems a bit difficult. Also, it seems like a low fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: If the child's tonsils are inflamed and swollen, what dietary restrictions should there be?Doctor's answer:
It is very important to help children recover from tonsillitis and return to a normal diet as soon as possible. First, they should eat plenty of fresh vegetables and fruits, as these are rich in vitamins that can boost the immune system. For example, the peels of mandarins are rich in vitamin C, which has good anti-inflammatory effects. It is also recommended to choose easily digestible foods, such as porridge or well-cooked noodles, which are suitable for children during their recovery. Additionally, spicy and irritating foods like hot pot and spicy noodles, as well as "trigger foods" like beef, lamb, and seafood, should be avoided. While maintaining a proper diet, it is also important not to be picky or have a biased diet to prevent nutritional deficiencies and weakened immunity, which could lead to recurrence.
