Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 8 months old, just started, felt a sore throat when talking, found that accompanied by mild cough, and it seems like the low fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: What are the dietary principles for tonsillitis with redness and swelling in infants and young children?Doctor's answer:
If a child suffers from tonsillitis, seeking medical attention immediately is very necessary. At the same time, parents should also pay attention to giving their children more vegetables and fruits. The reason for letting children eat more vegetables and fruits is mainly to replenish vitamins and trace elements, helping to boost immunity and recover quickly. For example, the peel of kumquats, which is rich in vitamin C, has a very good anti-inflammatory effect. In terms of dietary choices, it is best to opt for easily digestible options, such as congee and noodles, which are both good choices. It is also important to drink plenty of plain water daily. However, certain foods that may exacerbate the condition, such as seafood and dog meat, should be avoided. While maintaining a proper diet, it is also important not to be picky or biased in eating habits, to prevent nutritional deficiencies and lowered resistance, which could lead to recurrence.
