Patient's question:
Girl baby, only 9 months old, just starting, saying it hurts to swallow things. Found that coughing seems to be quite severe as well, and it seems like the low fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: When a child with tonsillitis cries and screams, what dietary precautions should be noted?Doctor's answer:
It is very important to help your child recover from tonsillitis and resume a normal diet as soon as possible. First, they should eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, as these are relatively rich in nutrients and can effectively boost their immunity. Fruits like pears and apples, for example, have cooling and anti-inflammatory properties, so it’s a good idea to include them in their diet. Daily meals should also be easy to digest and swallow, so it’s recommended to focus on foods like porridge and noodles. The noodles should be cooked until they are very soft. At the same time, it’s important to avoid foods that might aggravate the condition, such as beef, lamb, dog meat, and seafood, as these can worsen symptoms. In addition to a proper diet, it’s also crucial not to be picky or biased about food, as this can lead to nutritional deficiencies and weakened immunity, making them more prone to recurrence.
