Patient's question:
Baby girl, only 6 months old, just starting, saying her throat hurts, noticed that swallowing seems a bit difficult, and she has had a slight fever all along. Please ask: What foods can babies and young children with tonsillitis and sore throat eat?Doctor's answer:
Wanting your child to recover from tonsillitis and resume eating as soon as possible is very important. First, they should eat more fresh vegetables and fruits. Fruits and vegetables are rich in vitamins and trace elements, and they are relatively light, so they are very helpful for treating the illness. However, when choosing fruits, it's important to avoid those that are too cold or cooling in nature. You can opt for some neutral ones, such as apples or kiwis. In daily meals, it's best to choose easily digestible foods, like porridge or noodles. But be mindful that spicy, irritating foods, as well as certain "trigger foods" (fāwù), are not recommended for children during this period. Finally, it's also important to help your child develop good eating habits.
