Patient's question:
My male baby is 2 years old. At first, he had a slightly sore throat, and I noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse when he spoke. Now, he has a high fever that won't go down. I would like to ask: How should a child with tonsillitis and difficulty swallowing have a reasonable diet?Doctor's answer:
While treating children's tonsillitis, dietary attention is also crucial. Generally, it is recommended to give children more fruits and vegetables, as they are rich in vitamins and trace elements, and are relatively light in flavor, which is very helpful for treating the disease. For example, fruits like pears and apples have the effects of clearing heat and reducing inflammation, so they can be eaten more. You can also choose some easily digestible foods for your child, such as thin porridge or well-cooked noodles. However, it is still important to avoid spicy and irritating foods, as well as some "trigger foods" during this period. At the same time, it is also necessary to help children correct their picky eating and poor appetite habits to ensure comprehensive nutrient absorption.
