Patient's question:
My little girl is 1 year old. At first, she said she had pain when swallowing, and I noticed that her cough also seemed to be more severe. Additionally, it seems like her low-grade fever hasn't gone away. I would like to ask: What should be paid attention to in diet and nutrition for children with tonsillitis who always cry?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. These foods are not only rich in vitamins and trace elements, which can help boost immunity, but they are also relatively light and easy to digest. Good choices include pears, watermelon, kumquats, and pomegranates. For vegetables, green leafy greens and tomatoes are excellent options. When it comes to staple foods, it's best to choose softer and finer options, such as porridge or noodles, to avoid difficulty swallowing or worsening constipation. At the same time, parents should also pay attention not to let their child eat spicy or irritating foods, such as greasy dishes. Finally, it's important to help the child develop good eating habits.
