Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned 2 months old, just started, said his throat hurts, noticed it, accompanied by mild cough, also a bit fever and no energy. Please ask: what are the dietary precautions for infant tonsillitis, which is very uncomfortable?Doctor's answer:
Children with tonsillitis are advised to seek timely medical treatment. In terms of diet, vegetables and fruits are relatively light and are a good choice during the treatment period. Many fruits have the effects of clearing heat and detoxifying, and are rich in vitamins, which can help boost immunity and resist diseases. For example, apples and kiwis also have the functions of regulating qi, resolving phlegm, generating fluids, and moistening the lungs, which are very beneficial for treating tonsillitis. In daily meals, it is best to focus on light, easily digestible, and easy-to-swallow foods, such as porridge and noodles, which are excellent choices. Additionally, spicy and pungent foods like hot pot and spicy noodle soup, as well as "trigger foods" like beef, lamb, and seafood, should not be given to children. While maintaining a proper diet, it is also important not to be picky or biased in eating to avoid nutritional deficiencies and weakened immunity, which could lead to recurrence.
