Patient's question:
My son is 5 years old. At first, he had a slightly sore throat, and then I noticed he had mild coughing. Additionally, he had a slight fever and wasn't feeling well. Could you please advise on what foods are suitable for infants and young children with tonsillitis who are crying?Doctor's answer:
Children's tonsils are very prone to inflammation. If they occur, they should be examined and treated as early as possible. In terms of diet, it is recommended to focus on lighter foods such as vegetables and fruits. Vegetables and fruits are rich in vitamins, which help boost the immune system. For fruits, we generally suggest choosing those that are neutral in nature and rich in vitamins, such as kumquats or kiwis. Daily meals should consist of easily digestible foods, such as congee or noodles. It is also recommended to drink plenty of water. Additionally, you should eat less or avoid "heating" foods like mutton or dog meat. Diet is also very important for the treatment of tonsillitis, so pay close attention.
