Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 8 years old, just started, says even drinking water feels painful in the throat, noticed it, accompanied by mild cough, and now has high fever that won't go down. Please ask: What are the dietary principles for swallowing difficulties in children with tonsillitis?Doctor's answer:
During the child's treatment for tonsillitis, the daily diet should primarily focus on light and plain foods. It is recommended to consume more vegetables and fruits. In addition to being light and non-irritating, these foods are also rich in nutrients, which helps in resisting the disease. However, when choosing fruits, it is important to avoid those that are too cold or cooling in nature. Opt for fruits that are neutral in properties, such as apples or kiwis. In terms of other dietary choices, it is advisable to select foods that are soft and easy to digest, such as well-cooked noodles or porridge, which are excellent options. While maintaining a light diet, it is also important to limit the intake of certain foods that may exacerbate the condition, such as poultry, eggs, donkey meat, beef, and lamb. Lastly, it is essential to help the child develop good eating habits.
