Patient's question:
Baby girl, only 5 months old, just started saying it hurts to swallow things. Noticed that her voice is a bit hoarse when speaking. Additionally, her high fever hasn't broken yet. Please ask: If the child has tonsil inflammation and is crying, what are the dietary restrictions?Doctor's answer:
For the disease of pediatric tonsillitis, it is recommended to regulate it through daily diet. Children can be encouraged to eat more fresh vegetables and fruits. The nutritional elements in vegetables and fruits are relatively rich, which can help improve their immunity and thus aid in the healing of tonsils. For example, apples, kiwis, and others also have the functions of regulating qi, resolving phlegm, moistening the mouth, and nourishing the lungs, which are very helpful for tonsillitis. Additionally, it is advisable to choose some easily digestible foods for children, such as thin porridge or well-cooked noodles. Furthermore, spicy and pungent foods like hot pot or spicy hot pot should be avoided, as well as "trigger foods" such as beef, lamb, and seafood. At the same time, it is also important to help children correct their picky eating and poor appetite habits to ensure comprehensive nutritional absorption.
