Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned 7 months old, just started, said his throat hurts, noticed that, cough seems to be quite severe as well, and has had a slight fever for a while. Please ask: What should the child eat during the treatment for tonsillitis and sore throat?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that parents take their children to seek medical treatment promptly if they have tonsillitis. In terms of diet, vegetables and fruits are relatively light and are a good choice during the treatment period. The nutritional elements in vegetables and fruits are rich, which can help boost the child's immunity and thus aid in the healing of the tonsils. Fruits like pears and apples have the effects of clearing heat and reducing inflammation, so they can be consumed more frequently. For daily meals, it is best to focus on light, easily digestible, and easy-to-swallow foods, such as porridge and noodles. Foods like beef, lamb, poultry, eggs, and seafood, which are considered "heating" foods, should be avoided during this stage. This also includes spicy and irritating foods like hot pot and spicy noodles. Pediatric tonsillitis can lead to complications, which are very harmful to the child's health. Therefore, parents must ensure that their children receive proper treatment.
