Patient's question:
Girl baby, only 2 months old. At first, she felt a sore throat when speaking and found that her cough was quite severe. Additionally, she has had a slight fever for a while. Please ask: Does the child have tonsillitis? What dietary precautions should be taken?Doctor's answer:
During the treatment of tonsillitis, it is important to arrange a reasonable diet for children. Firstly, children should be encouraged to eat more vegetables and fruits. In addition to being light and non-irritating, these foods are also rich in nutrients, which help in resisting the disease. For example, orange peels, which are rich in vitamin C, have a good anti-inflammatory effect. It is advisable to choose foods that are easy to swallow and digest, such as porridge. Additionally, it is important to drink plenty of plain water. However, certain "trigger foods" like seafood and dog meat should be avoided. Lastly, it is also necessary to help children develop good eating habits, avoiding pickiness and preference for certain foods, to ensure a balanced diet and reduce the incidence of tonsillitis.
