Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 2 years old. At first, she felt a sore throat when speaking, and found that her voice was a bit hoarse when speaking, accompanied by low fever. Please ask: What should infants and young children with tonsillitis not eat?Doctor's answer:
During the treatment of tonsillitis in children, it is recommended to follow a light diet. Encourage the child to eat more vegetables and fruits. The reason for this is mainly to supplement vitamins and trace elements, which helps boost immunity and aid in faster recovery. However, when choosing fruits, it is important to avoid those that are too cold or cooling in nature. Opt for fruits that are neutral in properties, such as apples or kiwis. For daily meals, focus on light, easy-to-digest, and easy-to-swallow foods, such as porridge or noodles. It is also advisable to drink plenty of water. Additionally, limit or avoid foods that are considered "heating" or "stimulating," such as mutton or dog meat. 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.
