Patient's question:
Boy, he is already 7 years old. At first, he said his throat hurts. It was found that swallowing seems a bit difficult, and he has had a slight fever all along. Please ask: What should infants and young children with tonsillitis not eat when they are uncomfortable?Doctor's answer:
Children's tonsils are prone to inflammation, and 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. The reason for encouraging children to eat more vegetables and fruits is mainly to supplement vitamins and trace elements, which helps boost immunity and aid in recovery. Options like pears, kiwis, and honeybells can be chosen, as they also have the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying. It is important to select foods that are easy to swallow and digest, such as congee, which are excellent choices. While maintaining a light diet, it is also advisable to limit foods that may exacerbate the condition, such as poultry eggs, donkey meat, and beef or lamb. Lastly, it is also important to help children develop good eating habits.
