Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 1 year old. At first, he had a slightly sore throat. I noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse when he spoke. At the same time, he had a slight fever and wasn't very energetic. Could you please tell me: What are the dietary restrictions for children with tonsillitis and crying?Doctor's answer:
It is essential to promptly treat tonsillitis in children. Additionally, their daily diet should include more vegetables and fruits, as they are rich in vitamins that can help boost immunity and alleviate symptoms. Examples of suitable options include pears, apples, kumquats, and kiwis. In terms of other dietary choices, it is advisable to opt for foods that are soft and easy to digest, such as well-cooked noodles and porridge. While maintaining a light diet, it is also important to limit the consumption of certain foods that may exacerbate symptoms, such as poultry, eggs, donkey meat, and beef or lamb. At the same time, it is crucial to help children overcome picky eating and poor appetite habits to ensure comprehensive nutrient absorption.
