Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned 9 months old, just started, says his throat hurts even when drinking water, found that coughing seems to be more serious as well. Additionally, he now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: What are the dietary precautions for children with tonsillitis and swallowing difficulties?Doctor's answer:
If a child contracts tonsillitis, it is very necessary to seek medical attention immediately. At the same time, parents should also pay attention to giving their child more vegetables and fruits. This is mainly because vegetables and fruits are not only light but also rich in various vitamins and trace elements needed by the human body, which can obviously help children resist the disease. Options include pears, kiwis, and honeysuckle, etc., which also have the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying. It is advisable to choose foods that are easy to swallow and digest, such as congee, etc. Additionally, it is important to drink plenty of plain water. However, foods that are considered "fattening" or "irritating," such as seafood and dog meat, should be avoided. Diet is also very crucial for the treatment of tonsillitis, so it is essential to pay attention.
