Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 2 years old. He just started experiencing a slight sore throat, and I noticed that swallowing seems a bit difficult. At the same time, he has been running a low fever. Could you please advise on what foods he can eat if his tonsils are inflamed and he is crying?Doctor's answer:
For the condition of children's tonsillitis, it is recommended to start with dietary adjustment. Encourage children to eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, which are not only rich in vitamins and trace elements but can also help boost immunity. Additionally, these foods are relatively light in flavor. When it comes to fruits, it is advisable to choose those that are neutral in nature and rich in vitamins, such as kumquats or kiwis. For staple foods, opt for softer and finer options like porridge or noodles to avoid hindering swallowing or worsening constipation. At the same time, parents should ensure that children avoid spicy and greasy foods. It is also important for parents to help children develop good eating habits, promoting cleanliness and health, without being picky or biased toward certain foods.
