Infants and toddlers with tonsillitis should avoid eating what makes them cry

Patient's question:

Boy baby, just turned 4 months old, just started, said his throat hurts even when drinking water, found that his voice is a bit hoarse when speaking, and now he has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: What should infants and young children with tonsillitis not eat when they cry?

Doctor's answer:

If a child has tonsillitis, the diet should first be kept light. Vegetables and fruits should be the main focus, as they are rich in vitamins that help boost the immune system. For example, the peels of kumquats are rich in vitamin C, which has excellent anti-inflammatory effects. You can also choose some easily digestible foods for the child, such as thin porridge or well-cooked noodles. Additionally, spicy and irritating foods like hot pot or spicy noodles, as well as "trigger foods" like beef, lamb, and seafood, should be avoided. At the same time, it's important to help the child overcome picky eating and poor appetite habits to ensure comprehensive nutrient absorption.
