Patient's question:
Girl baby, only 7 months old, just starting, feels sore throat when speaking, noticed that cough seems to be more severe as well, also a bit feverish and lacking energy. Please ask: What dietary restrictions should be followed when children with tonsillitis often cry?Doctor's answer:
Children's tonsils are prone to inflammation, and if they occur, early examination and treatment should be given. For diet, it is recommended to focus on lighter foods such as vegetables and fruits. Apart from being light and non-irritating, these foods are also rich in nutrients, which help to boost the immune system and resist diseases. Fruits like pears and apples, for example, have the effects of clearing heat and reducing inflammation and can be eaten more often. It is advisable to choose foods that are easier to swallow and digest, such as porridge, which are excellent choices. Additionally, it is important to drink plenty of plain water, but avoid foods that may exacerbate inflammation, such as seafood and dog meat. Lastly, it is also important to help children develop good eating habits.
