Patient's question:
My male baby is 2 years old. At first, he said his throat hurts even when drinking water. He was found to have a slightly hoarse voice when speaking, and it seems like a low fever that hasn't gone away. Please ask: What dietary precautions should be taken for infants and young children with tonsillitis and sore throat?Doctor's answer:
If a child suffers from tonsillitis, it is very necessary to seek medical attention immediately. At the same time, parents should also pay attention to giving their child more vegetables and fruits. Vegetables and fruits are relatively rich in nutrients, which can help improve the child's immunity very well. For example, pears, apples, kumquats, and kiwis are all good choices. You can also choose some easily digestible foods for your child, such as thin porridge or well-cooked noodles. Foods like beef, lamb, poultry eggs, and seafood, which are considered "heating" or "irritating" foods, should not be given to the child during this period. Of course, this also includes spicy and irritating foods like hot pot or spicy soup. Pediatric tonsillitis can lead to some complications, which are very harmful to the child's health. Therefore, parents must help their child receive proper treatment.
