Patient's question:
Baby girl, only 6 months old. At first, she said she had pain when swallowing things. It was discovered that her voice was a bit hoarse when speaking, and she also had a low fever. Please ask: What dietary restrictions should be followed for swallowing difficulties caused by pediatric tonsillitis?Doctor's answer:
It is very important to help children recover from tonsillitis and resume their normal diet as soon as possible. First and foremost, they should eat more fresh vegetables and fruits. This is mainly because vegetables and fruits are not only light and refreshing but also rich in various vitamins and trace elements that the body needs, which can obviously help children fight the disease. For example, pears, apples, kumquats, and kiwis are all good choices. It is also recommended to choose some easily digestible foods, such as porridge or well-cooked noodles, which are very suitable for children during their recovery. Foods like beef, lamb, poultry, eggs, and seafood, which are considered "heating" or "irritating" foods, should be avoided during this period. Of course, spicy and pungent foods like hot pot and spicy noodles should also be avoided. In daily life, it is also important to help children develop good habits. In addition to a healthy diet, they should maintain a regular sleep schedule (going to bed early and waking up early) and engage in appropriate exercise.
