Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned 4 months old, just started, said swallowing things hurts, found that his voice is a bit hoarse when talking, and it seems like a low fever that hasn't gone away, please ask: What are the dietary taboos for children with tonsillitis and swallowing difficulties?Doctor's answer:
It is essential to promptly treat tonsillitis in children. Additionally, in daily diet, it is advisable to consume more vegetables and fruits. These foods are not only rich in vitamins and trace elements but can also help boost immunity. Moreover, they are relatively light in flavor. Good options include pears, watermelons, kumquats, and pomegranates. As for vegetables, green leafy greens and tomatoes are excellent choices. In terms of daily meals, it is best to focus on light, easily digestible, and easy-to-swallow foods, such as congee and noodles. During this period, 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. Lastly, it is important to help children develop healthy eating habits, avoiding pickiness and fussy eating, to ensure a balanced diet and reduce the incidence of tonsillitis.
