Patient's question:
Boy, already 4 years old, at the beginning, he said it hurts when he swallows things. He noticed that his cough is quite severe, and he has had a slight fever all along. Please ask: What dietary precautions should be taken for infants and young children with tonsillitis and sore throat?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, it is very necessary to seek medical attention immediately. At the same time, parents should also pay attention to giving their child more vegetables and fruits. In addition to being light and non-irritating, these foods are also rich in nutrients, which helps to resist the disease. Fruits like pears and apples have the effects of clearing heat and reducing inflammation, so they can be eaten more. Daily diet should also pay attention to being easy to digest and swallow, so it is recommended to take porridge and noodles as the main food. Noodles must be cooked to be soft and fine. Foods like beef, lamb, poultry eggs, and seafood should not be given to children during this period. Of course, this also includes stimulating and spicy foods like hot pot and hot pot. While paying attention to a proper diet, it is also important not to be picky or biased in eating, so as to avoid nutritional deficiencies and low resistance, which may lead to recurrence.
