Patient's question:
My male baby is 2 years old. At first, he said his throat hurts, and it was found that his voice is a bit hoarse when he speaks. Meanwhile, he now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: What dietary precautions should be taken if a child has swollen and red tonsils?Doctor's answer:
During the treatment of tonsillitis, it is necessary to arrange a reasonable diet for the child. First, the child should be encouraged to eat more vegetables and fruits. The reason for this is mainly to supplement vitamins and trace elements, which helps to boost immunity and aid in a quicker recovery. Fruits such as pears, kiwis, and honeysuckle are good choices, as they also have the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying. It is advisable to choose foods that are easy to swallow and digest, such as congee. At the same time, parents should also pay attention not to let the child eat and service. Finally, parents should help the child develop good eating habits, avoiding picky eating and partiality, so that the diet can be nutritionally balanced and reduce the incidence of tonsillitis.
