Patient's question:
My male baby is 1 year old. At first, it was said that even drinking water with a sore throat felt painful. I noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse when he spoke. Additionally, it seems like a low fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: What dietary precautions should be taken when a child has tonsillitis and feels very uncomfortable?Doctor's answer:
During the treatment of tonsillitis, diet is also a very important aspect. It is recommended that mothers can give their children more vegetables and fruits. Fruits and vegetables are rich in vitamins and trace elements, and they are relatively light in flavor, so they are very helpful for the treatment of the disease. For example, apples, kiwis, etc., have the effects of regulating qi, resolving phlegm, generating fluids, and moisturizing the lungs, which are very beneficial for the quality of tonsillitis treatment. You can also choose some easily digestible foods for your child, such as thin porridge or well-cooked noodles. Foods like beef, lamb, poultry eggs, and seafood, which are considered "heating" foods, should not be given to children during this period. Of course, this also includes spicy and irritating foods like hot pot and spicy noodles. Finally, parents should help their children develop good habits, maintain a regular schedule, engage in appropriate exercise, and improve their immunity, which can greatly reduce the incidence of the disease.
