Childhood tonsillitis is very uncomfortable, what should be paid attention to in diet?

Patient's question:

Girl baby, only 6 months old, just starting, a little sore throat, found that swallowing seems a bit difficult, also a little fever and no energy. Please ask: Is it very uncomfortable for children with tonsillitis? What should be paid attention to in diet?

Doctor's answer:

During the treatment of tonsillitis, it is necessary to arrange a reasonable diet for the child. First, the child should be encouraged to eat more vegetables and fruits. The reason for encouraging the child to eat more vegetables and fruits is mainly to supplement vitamins and trace elements, which helps to boost immunity and aid in a quicker recovery. However, when choosing fruits, it is important to avoid those that are too cold or cooling in nature. Opt for fruits that are neutral in properties, such as apples or kiwis. Additionally, the child can be given easily digestible foods, such as thin porridge or well-cooked noodles. Furthermore, spicy and irritating foods, such as hot pot or spicy noodles, as well as "trigger foods" like beef, lamb, or seafood, should be avoided. Parents should also help their children develop good eating habits, ensuring cleanliness and health, and avoiding pickiness or partiality in food choices.
