Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned 4 months old, just started, said his throat hurts, found that his voice is a bit hoarse when speaking, and accompanied by low fever. Please ask: What are the dietary taboos for infants and young children with tonsillitis and difficulty swallowing?Doctor's answer:
During the treatment for tonsillitis, the daily diet should primarily be light. Children can consume more vegetables and fruits, as they are rich in nutrients that can help boost their immunity and aid in the healing of the tonsils. For example, apples and kiwis also have the effects of regulating qi, resolving phlegm, generating fluids, and moisturizing the lungs, which are very beneficial for tonsillitis. It is also important to choose easily digestible foods for the child, such as porridge, well-cooked noodles, and noodle wrappers. However, it is necessary to avoid and spicy foods, as well as certain foods that may exacerbate the condition during this period. Lastly, parents should help their children develop good habits, maintain a regular schedule, engage in appropriate exercise, and enhance their immunity, which can significantly reduce the incidence of the disease.
