Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned 7 months old, just started, a little sore throat, found that swallowing seems a bit difficult, also a bit feverish and lacking energy. Please ask: What dietary precautions should be taken for infants and toddlers with tonsillitis and sore throat?Doctor's answer:
If a child has tonsillitis, the diet should first be kept light. Vegetables and fruits should be the main focus, as they are not only light but also rich in various vitamins and trace elements needed by the body, which can help the child resist the illness. Fruits like pears and apples, for example, have the effects of clearing heat and reducing inflammation, so they can be eaten more frequently. Daily diet should also be easy to digest and swallow, so it is recommended to focus on thin porridge and noodle dishes. The noodles must be cooked to be very soft. Additionally, it is important to drink plenty of plain water and eat less "heating" foods such as beef, lamb, and dog meat. Seafood is also best eaten in moderation or avoided. While maintaining a proper diet, it is also important not to be picky or biased in eating to avoid nutritional deficiencies and weakened immunity, which could lead to recurrence.
