Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 7 years old. At first, she said that even drinking water felt painful in her throat. She noticed that her cough was quite severe. Additionally, she now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: What should be noted in her diet if the child has tonsillitis and difficulty swallowing?Doctor's answer:
If a child suffers from tonsillitis, it is very necessary to seek medical attention immediately. At the same time, parents should also pay attention to giving their child more vegetables and fruits. Vegetables and fruits are rich in vitamins, which help boost the immune system. For example, the peels of kumquats are rich in vitamin C, which has a good anti-inflammatory effect. In daily diet, it should be light, easy to digest, and easy to swallow, such as congee and noodles, which are both excellent choices. At the same time, never give the child any "trigger foods," such as seafood or dog meat, as these are harmful to the condition. Children with tonsillitis may develop complications, which are very unfavorable for their health. Therefore, parents must help their children receive proper treatment.
