Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned 4 months old, just starting, feels a sore throat when talking, notices it, accompanied by mild cough, and also accompanied by low fever. Please ask: What are the dietary principles for tonsillitis with a sore throat in infants and young children?Doctor's answer:
Children with tonsillitis are advised to seek timely treatment. In terms of diet, vegetables and fruits are relatively light and are a good choice during the treatment period. Vegetables and fruits are rich in nutrients, which can effectively help improve children's immunity. We generally recommend choosing fruits that are neutral in nature and rich in vitamins, such as kumquats or kiwis. In terms of other dietary aspects, it is advisable to choose foods that are soft and easy to digest, such as well-cooked noodles and porridge, which are excellent options. While maintaining a light diet, it is also important to avoid foods that may exacerbate the condition, such as poultry, eggs, donkey meat, beef, and lamb. Tonsillitis in children can lead to complications, which are very harmful to their health. Therefore, parents must help their children receive proper treatment.
