Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 3 years old. At first, when he spoke, he felt a sore throat. He also had a mild cough, and it seemed like a low fever that never went away. Please ask: What are the dietary precautions for infants and young children with tonsillitis who cry and fuss?Doctor's answer:
During the treatment of tonsillitis, it is necessary to arrange a reasonable diet for the child. First, the child should be encouraged to eat more vegetables and fruits, as many fruits have the effects of clearing heat and detoxifying, and are rich in vitamins, which can help boost immunity and resist diseases. For fruits, it is recommended to choose pears, apples, etc., and for vegetables, options like leafy greens, cabbage, and tomatoes are all good choices. You can select based on the child's preferences. It is also advisable to choose some easily digestible foods, such as porridge or well-cooked noodles, which are suitable for the child during treatment. Additionally, spicy and irritating foods like hot pot or spicy noodle soup, as well as "trigger foods" like beef, lamb, and seafood, should not be given to the child. Finally, it is also important to help the child develop good eating habits.
