Patient's question:
Baby girl, only 4 months old, just starting out. She says her throat hurts even when she drinks water. She notices that her cough is quite severe, and she also has a slight fever and lacks energy. Please ask: What are the dietary restrictions for infants and young children with tonsillitis and crying?Doctor's answer:
It is very important to help children recover from tonsillitis and resume a normal diet as soon as possible. First, they should eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, as these are rich in vitamins that can boost the immune system. For example, the peels of kumquats are rich in vitamin C, which has excellent anti-inflammatory properties. It is also important to choose easily digestible foods for the child, such as porridge, well-cooked noodles, and noodle wrappers. Foods like beef, lamb, poultry, eggs, and seafood should be avoided during this period, as should spicy and irritating foods like hot pot and spicy noodles. While maintaining a proper diet, it is also essential not to be picky or biased in eating, to avoid nutritional deficiencies and weakened immunity, which could lead to recurrence.
