Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 4 years old. At first, she said it hurt when she swallowed things. It was discovered that it was accompanied by mild coughing, and she had been slightly feverish all along. Please ask: What should be noted in diet if children have tonsillitis and feel very uncomfortable?Doctor's answer:
While treating children's tonsillitis, dietary management should also be given sufficient attention. It is generally recommended to give children more fruits and vegetables, as they are rich in vitamins and trace elements, and are relatively light in flavor, which is very helpful for the treatment of the disease. However, when choosing fruits, it is important to avoid those that are too cold or cooling in nature. Opt for those that are neutral in nature, such as apples or kiwis. In terms of other dietary aspects, it is advisable to choose foods that are soft and easy to digest, such as well-cooked noodles or porridge, which are excellent options. Additionally, spicy and irritating foods, such as hot pot or spicy noodles, as well as "trigger foods" like beef, lamb, or seafood, should be avoided. Diet plays a key role in the treatment of tonsillitis, so it is essential to pay close attention.
