Patient's question:
My male baby is 1 year old. At first, he said his throat hurts even when drinking water, and I noticed that his cough seems to be more severe as well. Now, he has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: What dietary precautions should be taken for infants and toddlers with tonsillitis?Doctor's answer:
During the treatment of tonsillitis in children, it is recommended to follow a light diet. You can give the child more vegetables and fruits. In addition to being light and non-irritating, these foods are also rich in nutrients, which helps in resisting the disease. You can choose pears, watermelon, kumquats, and pomegranates, among others. For vegetables, green leafy greens and tomatoes are excellent choices. In daily diet, it should focus on being light, easy to digest, and easy to swallow, such as congee and noodles, which are very good. While following a light diet, it is also important to eat less allergenic foods, such as poultry eggs, donkey meat, beef, and lamb. Diet is also very important for the treatment of tonsillitis. Pay close attention.
