Patient's question:
Baby girl, only 5 months old. At first, her throat felt a bit sore, and she was found to have some difficulty swallowing. Additionally, she has had a slight fever all along. Please ask: What should the child eat during the treatment for tonsillitis when she is constantly crying?Doctor's answer:
For the disease of tonsillitis in children, it is recommended to start with daily diet for regulation. Children can be encouraged to eat more fresh vegetables and fruits. In addition to being light and non-irritating, these foods are also rich in nutrients, which helps to resist the disease. Options include pears, watermelon, kumquats, and pomegranates. For vegetables, green leafy greens and tomatoes are excellent choices. When it comes to staple foods, it is best to choose softer and finer options, such as porridge or noodles, to avoid difficulties in swallowing or worsening constipation, which could aggravate the condition. At the same time, it is important to avoid giving children "trigger foods," such as beef, lamb, dog meat, and seafood, as these may worsen symptoms. Finally, it is also necessary to help children develop good eating habits.
