Patient's question:
My male baby is 1 year old. At first, it was said that even drinking water with a sore throat felt painful. It was found that the cough was quite severe, and it seemed like the low fever hadn't subsided. Please ask: For infants and young children with tonsillitis, what foods can be eaten when it is very uncomfortable?Doctor's answer:
During the treatment for tonsillitis, the daily diet should primarily be light. You can eat more vegetables and fruits, as they are rich in vitamins, which can help boost the immune system and alleviate symptoms. However, when choosing fruits, avoid those that are too cold or cooling in nature. Opt for those that are neutral in properties, such as apples or kiwis. It is also important to select easily digestible foods for the child, such as porridge, well-cooked noodles, or noodle wrappers. Additionally, make sure to drink plenty of plain water and limit the intake of "heating" foods like beef, mutton, or dog meat. Seafood should also be consumed in moderation or avoided altogether. Finally, help the child develop good eating habits.
