Patient's question:
My male baby is 2 years old. At first, he said it hurts when he swallows something. It was found that his cough is quite severe, and he has had a slight fever all along. Please ask: What should children with swollen and red tonsils not eat?Doctor's answer:
During the treatment of tonsillitis in children, it is recommended to follow a light diet. You can give the child more vegetables and fruits, as they are rich in vitamins, which help boost the immune system. For example, the peels of kumquats are rich in vitamin C, which has excellent anti-inflammatory effects. It is advisable to choose foods that are easy to swallow and digest, such as congee. However, it is also important to avoid spicy and irritating foods, as well as certain foods that may exacerbate the condition during this period. Finally, it is essential to help the child develop healthy eating habits, avoiding pickiness and selective eating, to ensure a balanced diet and reduce the incidence of tonsillitis.
