Patient's question:
Female baby, only 6 months old, just starting out. She says her throat hurts even when drinking water, and she seems to have difficulty swallowing. Additionally, it seems like her low-grade fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: Has the child's tonsils become inflamed? What dietary precautions should be taken?Doctor's answer:
It is essential to promptly treat tonsillitis in children. Additionally, their daily diet should include more vegetables and fruits. Vegetables and fruits are relatively rich in nutrients, which can effectively boost children's immunity. Examples include pears, apples, kumquats, and kiwis, all of which are excellent choices. Parents can also opt for easily digestible foods, such as thin porridge or well-cooked noodles. Meanwhile, it is important for parents to ensure that their children avoid spicy and irritating foods, as well as sugary snacks. Parents should also help their children develop good eating habits, emphasizing hygiene, health, and avoiding picky or biased eating habits.
