Patient's question:
Girl baby, only 5 months old. At first, she said her throat hurts, and I noticed that her voice is a bit hoarse when she speaks. Also, she has had a slight fever for a while. Please ask: What should the child avoid eating when tonsillitis causes crying?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that parents take their children with tonsillitis to seek treatment promptly. In terms of diet, vegetables and fruits are relatively light and are a good choice during the treatment period. These foods are not only rich in vitamins and trace elements, which can help boost immunity, but they are also relatively light. For example, apples and kiwis have the additional benefits of regulating qi, resolving phlegm, nourishing fluids, and moistening the lungs, which are very helpful for treating tonsillitis. It is also advisable to choose easily digestible foods, such as porridge or well-cooked noodles, which are suitable for children during the treatment period. While maintaining a light diet, it is important to avoid certain foods that may exacerbate the condition, such as poultry, eggs, donkey meat, beef, and lamb. Parents should also help their children develop good eating habits, ensuring cleanliness and health, and avoiding pickiness or partiality in their diet.
