Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 3 years old. At first, she said it hurts when she swallows things. It was found that her voice is a bit hoarse when she speaks. At the same time, she now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: What dietary precautions should be taken for children with inflamed and swollen tonsils?Doctor's answer:
If a child suffers from tonsillitis, in addition to prompt treatment, attention should also be paid to diet. First, they can eat more fresh fruits and vegetables. The reason for encouraging children to eat more fruits and vegetables is mainly to supplement vitamins and trace elements, which helps boost immunity and aid in a faster recovery. When it comes to fruits, it is generally recommended to choose those that are neutral in nature and rich in vitamins, such as kumquats or kiwis. Daily diet should also focus on easy digestion and swallowing, so it is advisable to consume porridge and noodle dishes. The noodles must be cooked to be soft and smooth. Additionally, it is important to drink plenty of plain water. However, certain foods that may exacerbate the condition, such as seafood or dog meat, should be avoided. In daily life, it is also important to help children develop good habits. In addition to a healthy diet, they should also maintain a regular sleep schedule (going to bed early and waking up early) and engage in appropriate exercise.
