Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 5 years old. At first, he said he had pain when swallowing, and I noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse when speaking, and it seemed like he had a low-grade fever that wouldn't go away. I would like to ask: What foods should the child avoid if his tonsils are inflamed and uncomfortable?Doctor's answer:
During the treatment of tonsillitis, diet is also a very important aspect. It is recommended that moms encourage their children to eat more vegetables and fruits. This is because vegetables and fruits are rich in vitamins, which can help boost immunity and alleviate symptoms. Examples of good choices include pears, apples, kumquats, and kiwis. Daily meals should also be easily digestible and easy to swallow, so it is advised to prioritize consuming porridge and noodle dishes. Noodles must be cooked to be very soft. At the same time, parents should also ensure that their children avoid spicy and irritating foods as well as fried foods. Finally, parents should help their children develop good habits, maintain a regular sleep schedule, engage in appropriate exercise, and enhance immunity. This can greatly reduce the occurrence of the disease.
