Patient's question:
Baby girl, only 2 months old, just starting to show symptoms, saying it hurts to swallow things, and found that swallowing seems a bit difficult. Also, she now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: What are the dietary restrictions for children with tonsillitis and poor appetite?Doctor's answer:
While treating children's tonsillitis, dietary attention is also crucial. Generally, it is 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, avoid those that are too cold or cooling in nature. Opt for neutral ones, such as apples or kiwis. It is also important to select easily digestible foods for children, such as porridge, well-cooked noodles, or noodle wrappers. Additionally, drink plenty of plain water, but avoid "trigger foods" like seafood or dog meat. Along with proper diet, it is essential not to be picky or biased in eating habits to prevent nutritional deficiencies and weakened immunity, which could lead to recurrence.
