Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned 3 months old. At first, he felt a sore throat when talking, and found that his voice was a bit hoarse when speaking. Also, he has had a slight fever all along.：If the child has tonsillitis and discomfort, what are the dietary principles?Doctor's answer:
For tonsillitis in children, it is recommended to adjust the diet by incorporating fresh vegetables and fruits, as they are rich in vitamins that help boost immunity. For example, the skin of kumquats is high in vitamin C, which has excellent anti-inflammatory effects. It is also advisable to choose easily digestible foods, such as porridge or soft-cooked noodles, which are suitable for children during their recovery. Additionally, spicy and irritating foods like hot pot and spicy snacks, as well as allergenic foods like beef, lamb, and seafood, should be avoided. While maintaining a proper diet, it is also important not to be picky or biased in eating, to prevent nutritional deficiencies and weakened immunity, which could lead to recurrence.
