Infant and Toddler Tonsillitis: General Crying and Dietary Precautions

Patient's question:

My little girl is 3 years old. At first, she had a slightly sore throat. She was found to have a slightly hoarse voice when speaking, and she also had a low fever. Please ask: What should be noted about crying, diet, and tonsillitis in infants and young children?

Doctor's answer:

If a child suffers from tonsillitis, in addition to prompt treatment, attention should also be paid to diet. First, they can eat more fresh fruits and vegetables. In addition to being light and non-irritating, these foods are also rich in nutrients, which helps to resist the disease. For fruits, pears and apples are recommended, while for vegetables, green vegetables, cabbage, and tomatoes are all good choices. You can choose based on the child's preferences. In terms of dietary choices, it's best to opt for easily digestible options, such as congee and noodles. Additionally, spicy and irritating foods like hot pot and spicy noodle soup, as well as "trigger foods" like beef, lamb, and seafood, should not be given to the child. Parents should also help their children develop good eating habits, ensuring cleanliness and health, avoiding picky and biased eating habits.
