Patient's question:
My little boy is 4 years old. At first, he said that even drinking water with his throat felt painful. I noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. Additionally, he had a slight fever and wasn't very energetic. Please advise: What is a reasonable diet for infants and young children with tonsillitis who always cry?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 light foods such as vegetables and fruits, as many fruits have the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying, and are rich in vitamins, which can help boost immunity and resist diseases. Fruits like pears and apples have the effects of clearing heat and reducing inflammation and can be eaten more. Daily diet should also pay attention to being easy to digest and swallow, so it is recommended to focus on thin porridge and noodle foods. The noodles must be cooked to be very soft. While following a light diet, it is also necessary to eat less allergenic foods, such as poultry eggs, donkey meat, beef and mutton, etc. Children's tonsillitis can lead to some complications, which are very harmful to children's health, so parents must help their children receive proper treatment.
