Patient's question:
Baby girl, only 6 months old. At first, she said her throat was sore. She noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult, and she also had a slight fever and no energy. Please ask: What should be noted in the diet for children with tonsillitis and sore throat?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 nutritional content in vegetables and fruits is relatively rich, which can help improve the child's immunity and thus aid in the healing of the tonsils. For example, apples, kiwis, and other fruits have the functions of regulating qi, resolving phlegm, generating fluids, and moisturizing the lungs, which are very helpful for treating tonsillitis. In daily meals, easily digestible foods should be chosen, such as porridge and noodles. At the same time, it is important to avoid foods that may aggravate symptoms, such as beef, mutton, dog meat, and seafood. Additionally, it is necessary to help the child correct bad habits like picky eating and poor appetite to ensure comprehensive nutrient absorption.
