Patient's question:
My little girl is 2 years old. At first, she said that even drinking water made her throat hurt. She was also experiencing severe coughing. Additionally, it seemed like she had a low-grade fever that never went away. I would like to ask: For infants and toddlers with tonsillitis, it is very uncomfortable. What should be noted regarding diet?Doctor's answer:
For the disease of tonsillitis in children, it is recommended to start with daily diet for regulation. Children can be encouraged to eat more fresh vegetables and fruits. Vegetables and fruits are relatively rich in nutrients, which can effectively help improve children's immunity. For fruits, it is advisable to choose pears, apples, etc. As for vegetables, green vegetables, cabbage, tomatoes, etc., are all good options. You can choose based on the child's preferences. Daily diet should also pay attention to easy digestion and swallowing, so it is recommended to focus on porridge and noodle foods. Noodle foods must be cooked to be very soft. While maintaining a light diet, it is also necessary to eat less allergenic foods, such as poultry eggs, donkey meat, beef and mutton, etc. In addition to cooperating with the doctor for the treatment of tonsillitis, parents should also help children develop good eating and living habits, which can help them recover earlier.
