Patient's question:
Girl baby, only 6 months old, just starting, a little sore in the throat, found that swallowing seems a bit difficult, and a little fever without energy. Please ask: What are the dietary principles for infants and young children with tonsillitis who always cry?Doctor's answer:
It is very important for children with tonsillitis to resume a normal diet as soon as possible. First, they should eat more fresh vegetables and fruits. Vegetables and fruits are rich in nutrients that can help boost their immunity, which in turn aids in the recovery of the tonsils. For example, fruits like pears and apples have cooling and anti-inflammatory effects, so they can be eaten more often. Daily meals should consist of easily digestible foods, such as congee and noodles. Additionally, it is important to drink plenty of plain water and avoid foods that are considered "heating" or "irritating," such as beef, mutton, and dog meat. Seafood should also be consumed in moderation or avoided altogether. Finally, parents should help their children develop good habits, maintain a regular sleep schedule, engage in appropriate exercise, and improve their immunity, which can significantly reduce the occurrence of illness.
