Patient's question:
Boy, he is already 8 years old. At first, he said that swallowing things hurts, and it was noticed that swallowing seems a bit difficult. Moreover, he now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: What are the dietary principles for tonsillitis with sore throat in infants and young children?Doctor's answer:
It is very important to help your child recover from tonsillitis and return to a normal diet as soon as possible. First, they should eat more fresh vegetables and fruits. Vegetables and fruits are relatively rich in nutrients, which can greatly help boost their immunity. For example, apples, kiwis, and other fruits have the effects of regulating qi, resolving phlegm, generating fluids, and moisturizing the lungs, which are very beneficial for the recovery of tonsillitis. When choosing food, it is best to opt for easily digestible options, such as congee and noodles, which are excellent choices. Additionally, spicy and irritating foods, like hot pot and spicy noodles, as well as "trigger foods" like beef, lamb, and seafood, should be avoided. While maintaining a proper diet, it is also important not to be picky or biased in eating habits to prevent nutritional deficiencies and weakened resistance, which could lead to recurrence.
