Child has tonsil inflammation and cries during treatment, what to eat

Patient's question:

My little girl, who is 3 years old this year, initially said that even drinking water with her throat felt painful. I noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. Moreover, she now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: What should children with tonsil inflammation eat during treatment when they are crying?

Doctor's answer:

If a child contracts tonsillitis, it is very necessary to seek medical attention immediately. At the same time, parents should also pay attention to giving their child more vegetables and fruits. The reason for encouraging children to eat more vegetables and fruits is mainly to supplement vitamins and trace elements, which helps to boost their immunity and aid in recovery. When it comes to fruits, we generally recommend choosing those that are neutral in nature and rich in vitamins, such as kumquats or kiwis. In terms of diet, it is advisable to opt for foods that are soft and easy to digest, such as well-cooked noodles or congee, which are excellent choices. Additionally, it is important to drink plenty of plain water and reduce the intake of "damp" foods like beef, mutton, or dog meat. Seafood is also best avoided or consumed in moderation. It is also important to help children correct their picky eating and aversion to food habits to ensure that nutrients are fully absorbed.
