Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 1 year old. At first, she said she had pain when swallowing things. She noticed it accompanied by mild coughing, and she also had a slight fever and was lacking energy. Please ask: How should the child's diet be adjusted if they have sore tonsils and are feeling uncomfortable?Doctor's answer:
During the treatment for tonsillitis in children, it is recommended to follow a light diet. Encourage the child to eat more vegetables and fruits, as they are rich in nutrients that can help boost the immune system, thereby aiding in the recovery of the tonsils. For example, the vitamin C-rich lemon peels have excellent anti-inflammatory properties. It's also advisable to choose easily digestible foods for the child, such as thin porridge or well-cooked noodles. Additionally, avoid spicy and stimulating foods like hot pot or spicy noodles, as well as "allergic foods" such as beef, lamb, and seafood. Lastly, it's important to help the child develop good eating habits.
