Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned 7 months old, just starting, says his throat hurts even when drinking water, found that coughing seems to be more severe as well, and accompanied by low fever. Please ask: What should infants and young children with tonsillitis eat during the crying and treatment period?Doctor's answer:
If a child suffers from tonsillitis, in addition to prompt treatment, attention should also be paid to their diet. First, they can eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, as these contain rich nutritional elements that can help boost the child's immunity and thus aid in the healing of the tonsils. However, when choosing fruits, it's 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. It's also essential to choose easily digestible foods for the child, such as porridge, well-cooked noodles, or noodle skins. At the same time, parents should ensure that the child avoids spicy and irritating foods, as well as fatty foods. Finally, it's important to help the child develop good eating habits.
