Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 7 months old. At first, he said his throat hurts, and it was noticed that his voice is a bit hoarse when he speaks. At the same time, he also has a low fever. Please ask: What are the dietary principles for children with tonsillitis and no appetite?Doctor's answer:
Children's tonsils are very prone to inflammation. If they occur, it is important to seek medical attention as soon as possible. In terms of diet, it is recommended to focus on lighter foods such as vegetables and fruits. Vegetables and fruits are rich in nutrients, which can help boost the child's immunity and thus aid in the healing of the tonsils. For fruits, pears and apples are good choices, while for vegetables, green vegetables, cabbage, and tomatoes are excellent options. You can choose based on the child's preferences. Additionally, you can offer easily digestible foods such as thin porridge or well-cooked noodles.Furthermore, avoid spicy and irritating foods like hot pot and spicy noodles, as well as "trigger foods" such as beef, lamb, and seafood. While maintaining a proper diet, it is also important to avoid picky eating and to prevent nutritional deficiencies and weakened immunity, which could lead to recurrence.
