Patient's question:
My little girl, she's 2 years old. At first, she had a slightly sore throat, and then I noticed she seemed to have difficulty swallowing. Also, it seems like her low-grade fever hasn't gone away. I'm asking: What can children with tonsillitis and swallowing difficulties eat more of?Doctor's answer:
Children with tonsillitis are advised to seek timely medical treatment. In terms of diet, vegetables and fruits are relatively light and are a good choice during the treatment period. Fruits and vegetables are rich in vitamins and trace elements, and they are also relatively light, making them very helpful for treating the illness. For example, fruits like pears and apples have the effects of clearing heat and reducing inflammation, so they can be consumed more frequently. It is also recommended to choose easily digestible foods, such as porridge or well-cooked noodles, which are suitable for children during treatment. While maintaining a light diet, it is important to avoid certain foods that may exacerbate the condition, such as poultry, eggs, donkey meat, beef, and lamb. Children with tonsillitis may experience complications, which can be very harmful to their health. Therefore, parents must help their children receive proper treatment.
