Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 3 years old, just starting out. She feels a sore throat when speaking, notices it, accompanied by mild coughing, and a bit of fever with low energy. Please ask: What should children eat during the treatment for tonsillitis and difficulty swallowing?Doctor's answer:
While treating children's tonsillitis, dietary attention is also crucial. It is generally recommended to give children more fruits and vegetables, as they are rich in nutrients that can help boost the child's immunity and thus aid in the healing of the tonsils. For example, apples and kiwis also have the functions of regulating qi, resolving phlegm, generating fluids, and moisturizing the lungs, which are very beneficial for tonsillitis. Daily diet should also focus on easy digestion and swallowing, so it is advisable to prioritize thin porridge and noodle dishes. The noodles must be cooked to be very soft. Additionally, it is important to drink plenty of plain water. However, certain foods that may exacerbate the condition, such as seafood and dog meat, should be avoided. Children's tonsillitis can lead to complications, which are very harmful to their health. Therefore, parents must help their children receive proper treatment.
