Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 1 year old. At first, she said her throat hurts. Noticing that, her voice is a bit hoarse when she speaks, accompanied by low fever. Please ask: What are the dietary principles for children with tonsillitis who feel very uncomfortable?Doctor's answer:
It is very important to help children recover from tonsillitis and resume their normal diet as soon as possible. First, they should eat more fresh vegetables and fruits. The reason for encouraging children to consume more vegetables and fruits is mainly to replenish vitamins and trace elements, which can help boost their immunity and aid in faster recovery. For example, pears are cooling in nature and have properties such as fever reduction, soothing the throat, expectorating, and pain relief. They can alleviate the symptoms of acute tonsillitis, such as throat discomfort. In terms of diet, it is advisable to choose foods that are soft and easy to digest, such as well-cooked noodles and porridge. Foods like beef, lamb, poultry, eggs, and seafood, which are considered "heating" or "irritating" foods, should be avoided during this period. Of course, this also includes spicy and irritating foods like hot pot and spicy noodle dishes. Finally, parents should help their children develop good habits, maintain a regular schedule, engage in appropriate exercise, and enhance their immunity. This can significantly reduce the occurrence of the illness.
