Patient's question:
Baby girl, only 2 months old. At first, she said her throat was sore, and it was found that her cough seemed to be quite severe as well. Additionally, it seems like her low-grade fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: What should be noted in diet and nutrition for children with tonsillitis who always cry?Doctor's answer:
If a child contracts tonsillitis, it is very necessary to seek medical attention immediately. At the same time, parents should also pay attention to giving their child more vegetables and fruits. This is because vegetables and fruits are also rich in vitamins, which can help improve immunity and alleviate symptoms. For example, apples, kiwis, and other fruits have the effects of regulating qi, resolving phlegm, generating fluids, and moistening the lungs, which are very helpful for treating tonsillitis. In terms of dietary choices, it is best to opt for easily digestible foods, such as congee and noodles. It is recommended to drink plenty of water. Additionally, it is advisable to eat less or avoid foods that are considered "heating" or "irritating," such as mutton and dog meat. Parents should also help their children develop good eating habits, ensuring cleanliness and health, avoiding pickiness and partiality in their diet.
