Patient's question:
Baby boy, just turned 3 months old, just started experiencing pain when swallowing, noticed a slightly hoarse voice when talking, and also has a slight fever and lacks energy. Please ask: If the child has tonsillitis and cries frequently, what should be noted in their diet?Doctor's answer:
For tonsillitis in children, it is recommended to adjust the diet starting from daily meals. Encourage the child to eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, as they are rich in vitamins, which help boost immunity. For fruits, pears and apples are good choices, while vegetables like leafy greens, cabbage, and tomatoes are excellent. You can select options based on the child's preferences. In terms of daily meals, opt for easily digestible foods such as porridge and noodles. Additionally, avoid spicy and irritating foods like hotpot or spicy hotpot, as well as allergenic foods such as beef, lamb, and seafood. Lastly, parents should help the child develop good habits, maintain a regular schedule, engage in appropriate exercise, and enhance immunity. This can significantly reduce the incidence of the disease.
