Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 1 year old. At first, he said his throat hurt, and we noticed that swallowing seems a bit difficult. Moreover, he now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: What are the dietary precautions for children with tonsillitis?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 relatively rich in nutrients, which can effectively help boost children's immunity. For fruits, pears and apples are good choices. As for vegetables, green vegetables, cabbage, tomatoes, and the like are all excellent options. You can choose based on your child's preferences. It is important to select foods that are easy to swallow and digest, such as porridge. During this stage, avoid giving children foods that are considered "heating" or "irritating," such as beef, lamb, poultry, eggs, and seafood. This also includes spicy and irritating foods like hot pot and spicy noodles. Diet plays a crucial role in the treatment of tonsillitis, so pay close attention.
