Patient's question:
My son is 2 years old. At first, he said that even drinking water with his throat felt painful. I noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult, and he had been running a low fever. Please ask: What are the dietary restrictions for tonsillitis and sore throat in children?Doctor's answer:
During the treatment of tonsillitis, diet is also a very important aspect. It is recommended that moms can give their children more vegetables and fruits, because vegetables and fruits are also rich in vitamins, which can help improve immunity and alleviate symptoms. You can choose from pears, watermelon, kumquats, and pomegranates, among others. For vegetables, green leafy vegetables and tomatoes are great options. In daily diet, it should be light, easy to digest, and easy to swallow, such as porridge and noodles, which are very good. During this stage, avoid giving children foods like beef, lamb, poultry eggs, and seafood, as they are considered "heating" foods. This also includes spicy and irritating foods like hot pot and spicy noodles. At the same time, it is also important to help children correct their bad habits of picky eating and poor appetite to ensure comprehensive nutrient absorption.
