Patient's question:
My male baby, who is 2 years old, initially had a slightly sore throat. We noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse when he spoke, and he also had a low fever. Could you please tell me: If the child has tonsil inflammation and cries, what should they avoid eating?Doctor's answer:
Wanting your child to recover from tonsillitis and resume normal eating as soon as possible is very important. First, they should eat more fresh vegetables and fruits. The reason for encouraging them to eat more vegetables and fruits is mainly to replenish vitamins and trace elements, which helps boost immunity and aid in quicker recovery. For fruits, we generally recommend choosing those that are neutral in nature and rich in vitamins, such as honeysuckle and kiwi. In terms of other dietary choices, it’s advisable to opt for foods that are soft and easy to digest, such as well-cooked noodles and porridge, which are both good options. Additionally, spicy and irritating foods like hot pot or spicy noodles, as well as "disease-promoting" foods like beef, lamb, and seafood, should be avoided. Lastly, parents should help their children develop good habits, maintain a regular sleep schedule, engage in appropriate exercise, and enhance their immunity, which can significantly reduce the incidence of illness.
