Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 5 months old. At first, he said his throat hurts, and I noticed that swallowing seems a bit difficult. Also, he has a low fever. Please ask: What should children with tonsillitis not eat if they have difficulty swallowing?Doctor's answer:
While treating children's tonsillitis, dietary care should also be given sufficient attention. It is generally recommended to give children more fruits and vegetables, as they are rich in vitamins, which can help boost immunity and alleviate symptoms. However, when choosing fruits, it is important to avoid those that are too cold or cooling in nature. Opt for neutral ones, such as apples or kiwis. In daily meals, it is best to focus on light, easily digestible, and easy-to-swallow foods, such as congee or noodles, which are excellent choices. Additionally, spicy and irritating foods, like hot pot or spicy noodles, as well as "trigger foods" such as beef, lamb, or seafood, should be avoided. Lastly, it is also important to help children develop good eating habits.
