Patient's question:
Girl baby, only 7 months old, just starting out. When she talks, she feels a sore throat. She also has a slight cough, and now she has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should children with tonsillitis and sore throat have a reasonable diet?Doctor's answer:
During the treatment for tonsillitis, the daily diet should primarily focus on light foods. Children can consume more vegetables and fruits, as they are relatively rich in nutrients that can effectively boost their immunity. Fruits like pears and apples, for example, have the properties of clearing heat and reducing inflammation, so it's advisable to eat more of them. In terms of dietary choices, it's best to opt for easily digestible foods, such as congee and noodles. However, it's important to avoid and spicy foods, as well as certain foods that may exacerbate the condition during this period. Lastly, it's essential to help children develop good eating habits.
