Patient's question:
Boy, already 1 year old. At first, he said it hurt when he swallowed something. He noticed that his cough seemed to be more severe as well, and he had a slight fever and wasn't very energetic. Please ask: What are the dietary restrictions for tonsillitis with redness and swelling in children?Doctor's answer:
During the treatment of tonsillitis, diet is also a very important aspect. It is recommended that mothers can give their children more vegetables and fruits. The reason for encouraging children to eat more vegetables and fruits is mainly to supplement vitamins and trace elements, help boost immunity, and aid in recovery. For example, apples, kiwis, and other fruits have the effects of regulating qi, resolving phlegm, generating fluids, and moisturizing the lungs, which are very beneficial for tonsillitis. In terms of dietary choices, it is best to opt for easily digestible foods, such as congee and noodles. At the same time, never give children "trigger foods" (such as seafood, dog meat, etc.), as these can be detrimental to the condition. Parents should also help their children develop good eating habits, ensuring cleanliness and health, avoiding pickiness and partiality in their diet.
