Patient's question:
Female baby, currently 2 years old. At first, she said it hurts when swallowing, and it was noticed that her cough is quite severe. At the same time, it seems like a low fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: What should children eat during the treatment for tonsillitis with red and swollen tonsils?Doctor's answer:
If a child has tonsillitis, the diet should first be kept light. Vegetables and fruits should be the main components, as many fruits have the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying, and are rich in vitamins, which can help boost immunity and resist diseases. Examples include apples and kiwis, which also have the functions of regulating qi, resolving phlegm, generating fluids, and moistening the lungs, which are very beneficial for tonsillitis. In daily diet, easily digestible foods should be chosen, such as congee and noodles. At the same time, avoid giving them "trigger foods" like seafood or dog meat, as these are detrimental to the condition. Finally, parents should help their children develop good habits, maintain a regular schedule, engage in appropriate exercise, and improve immunity, which can significantly reduce the incidence of the disease.
