Patient's question:
My little girl is 9 years old. At first, she said that even drinking water with her throat felt painful. She also noticed that her voice was a bit hoarse when she spoke. Additionally, it seemed like she had a low-grade fever that wouldn't go away. Could you please tell me: What are the dietary restrictions for infants and young children with tonsillitis and swallowing difficulties?Doctor's answer:
During the treatment for tonsillitis, the daily diet should primarily focus on light foods. You can consume more vegetables and fruits, as many fruits have the effects of clearing heat and detoxifying, and are rich in vitamins, which can help boost immunity and resist diseases. Examples include pears, apples, kumquats, and kiwis, all of which are great choices. You can also choose some easily digestible foods for your child, such as thin porridge or well-cooked noodles. However, it is still important to avoid spicy and irritating foods, as well as certain "trigger foods" during this period. Finally, it is also essential to help your child develop good eating habits.
