Patient's question:
Boy, 11 years old, in primary school. At first, he said he had pain when swallowing, and it was noticed that his cough was quite severe, accompanied by low fever. Question: What kind of food can children with tonsillitis and swallowing difficulties eat?Doctor's answer:
During the treatment of tonsillitis, diet is also a very important aspect. It is recommended that moms can give their children more vegetables and fruits, because vegetables and fruits are also rich in vitamins, which can help improve immunity and alleviate symptoms. For fruits, we generally suggest choosing those that are neutral in nature and rich in vitamins, such as kumquats or kiwis. In daily meals, it should be light, easy to digest, and easy to swallow, such as congee or noodles, which are all excellent choices. Additionally, spicy and irritating foods, such as hot pot or spicy noodles, as well as "trigger foods" like beef, lamb, or seafood, should not be given to children. At the same time, it is also important to help children correct their bad habits of picky eating and poor appetite to ensure comprehensive nutrient absorption.
